FWIW, I've flown at two indoor sites locally this winter. Both are indoor soccer complexes. No AMA required. You sign the same waiver the soccer players sign and go ahead and fly. I actually showed them my AMA card and tried to explain and they laughed at me. "OK fella, thanks for showing us your toy airplane license. Now you can go fly."

I also fly quite a lot in my own yard these days which is something I never did a couple of years ago. I honestly think park flying something more than a passing fad simply because convienient and the planes have become quite capable in the right hands.

I'm not quitting my club. I still like my big planes, but I can see how some people could be quite happy flying nothing but small parkfliers and never miss the AMA or what it might have to offer them.
