Default RE: electric vs glow for planes

I have been reading with great interest the pros and cons of electric and glow. One thing that stands out to me is the mention that you dont have to travel to the club field to fly , any small space in a park will suffice. So my question is , does your AMA Insurance cover you when you are flying in car parks , school playgrounds , and like places? Because sure as hell it doesn't here in Australia, and lets face it , it will only take one slight amount of misjudgment and serious damage could occur. Even a model weighing only 20 ounces, can inflict serious damage. On a registered model flying field then insurance will cover you , NOT in a public park or carpark. As for my preferrence , i am glow through and through. I teach students with electrics and do enjoy the experience , then for my own flying enjoyment i fly my Excelleron 90.
