The direct answer to the question you asked is that it only takes 5 AMA members to charter a club.

Other than voting with Abel, the only other observation is the following that I lifted and modified from another place. This is the meat of the explanation for the actions you need to take.

"By joining AMA and having (local modelers create and join a club you can)provide an insurance certificate to the c(oun)ty, that covers the c(oun)ty even if someone goes out there and violates the safety code and causes an accident.

The person who violates the safety code is without insurance and is on their own.

Having the c(oun)ty covered is what keeps your flying site."
