I can go down to the school soccer field, football field, etc. No noise and nobody pays much attention. Except the next generation of "Park Flyers"! And they just want to know where you bought the plane. Until the AMA finds something that entices the Park Flyers to pay an annual dues, they are not going to attract many flyers. And paying annual dues to get a magazine and membership card is not going to do it. Being in this hobby off and on for over 40 years, I've been a AMA member during the times I have been active. But other than Insurance
Heater.. You are 100% correct. I have been in the hobby off and on for 50 yrs. I was a member of AMA during my "Club" years. I am now a Park Flyer. $58 seems like a LOT to me when my Home Owners insurance will cover my liability. I was a member as long as I was working. I do join AMA from time to time... to keep my number or to participate in AMA Club Meets.
