Default RE: P200 on a KingCat

Tom,
Are you in favor of procedures that could revoke any AMA member for safety code violations or just turbine modelers?
I'm really getting fed up with turbine modelers having to walk point for the AMA bureaucracy and for insurance coverage. The insurance is the stick that AMA uses to force compliance, just like the FEDS; they can't force states to enact laws, but, oh by the way, if you don't reduce the speed limit in your state we're going to cut off all your millions of dollars in federal highway funds. I just wish AMA would get rid of the insurance all together, let the local clubs deal with the field owner, or by the property themselves and let each modeler be responsible for their individual coverage.
If Johnny Clemmens could see how his suggestion so many years ago for some insurance coverage has turned into this monster, well, I'm sure he would just shake his head in disbelief.
I guess it just proves the old adage that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
