I belonged to the AMA for about fifteen years before I ever set foot on a AMA sanctioned club field. The AMA safety code doesn't, or didn't say you have to fly at an AMA field to be insured. You must simply follow their rules. The alternative is your own umbrella policy. Thats liability insurance that is really part of your homeowners, but covers you away from home as well. Its about one hundred bucks a year. So really, the AMA insurance isn't a bad deal..............................Having said that, go ahead and join!! Then come back and complain about the AMA with the rest of us.
Isn't there another alternative? How about

This organization sure is keeping a low profile, but as far as I know, they are still in business.
Take care,
