Default how can they be stopped?

I thought the AMA's primarily charter was to assist with the organization of clubs and lobbying activity on the behalf of modelers. Wasn't it the AMA that worked to ensure we had frequencies available?

Regarding the insurance coverage, I believe ones homeowners insurance would first be tapped in the event of a law suet and the AMA would cover anything above and beyond the homeowners policy.

I suppose this is off the subject of the original post though.

My only point was sometimes a few rules actually minimize excessive regulation. I used to fly at a public park where there was a frequency board and about 10 straight forward rules...basically common sense. Now although the rules were established by a club which also worked to obtain approval to fly R/C from the park authority, you didn't have to be a member of the club to fly. But, you did need to follow the rules. It was pretty easy since they are generally common sense.

I also have a friend with a large farm where he invites a handful of folks out to fly and he has only one rule…you must be invited otherwise its trespassing. It’s harder to limit the number of folks at a public site.
