emailbanter, I'm a little confused. Are you covered by AMA at the non AMA field? Or are you counting on your homeowner's there? I thought the AMA insurance only covers us at AMA sanctioned fields and events.
I hear this from so many as a reason not to join. I would like for someone to SHOW me where they have read this. If it were true, AMA would probably lose 1/2 it's members in a heartbeat. Maybe this is a result of people thinking too much.
And that's why I ask. I have seen and heard so many different interpretations of AMA's insurance coverage, and whether home owner's policies will cover a modeler. I wonder about the truth. I fear many people are making assumptions about their AMA or home owner's policies that may not be true.
For the record, I'm not trying to give a reason not to join AMA. And my wife would be amazed if she thought I was thinking too much! I like being in the AMA, and will probably always renew. I like having an organization looking out for my hobby concerns. I just haven't thought much about the insurance since getting into the hobby four years ago. I joined a club that requires AMA, played by the rules, and commenced learning, building, flying. But now I'd like to get some clarification as to what's what.
