Default AMA-- SIGs

Hello all,
I agree that a person be allowed to be and do as much or little as they want.
My disagreement with SIGs is that the entire membership of AMA has to pay in yearly dues for others to enjoy a limited area of flight enjoyment.
The sig makes no provision for an individual to try your part of the hobby without joining first, even though his part of the dues makes it possible for you to enjoy your part.
Maybe some changes in sig club rules could be made to let a person join in the events to see if this is his cup of tea.
When a regular club has a flying event , we state all AMA members welcome, they don't say sigs not allowed.
When a sig has a flying event they state up front that only sig members are allowed to participate, a person can not even pay extra registration fees to try out the event or organization(again ) to see if he likes it or not.

AS stated above it is a disagreement only not hate or dislike of any sig members.

Thanks, John
