So I looked on the AMA website for some local clubs and I found 2 near me. I checked out their websites and I noticed that in order to join the club I would have to pay the $60 annual fee (hopefully they'll pro-rate it), $10 payment for key and badge, and a onetime $150 runway fee. Should I expect to pay a runway fee at all clubs or is this just a scam? $220 to join a club sounds like a lot of $ (even more when I add a $300+ trainer on top of that) especially when I dont even know if I'll get hooked to this hobby.

Any thoughts?
