This is a very touchy subject...

If you have any additional club rules that are not already spelled out by AMA you may want to consider getting rid of them.

I am not saying that some of these rules are not good ideas. Some of them really don't need to exist anyway. If you kindly ask someone who is doing something you feel is unsafe to stop and explain why, they may see it the same way you do. If they don't stop, well hey, you did your part.

If you add any additional rules to those already in place by AMA you are only further limiting the coverage most folks are already complaining about. AMA clearly states it will not pay if you are in violation of any rules, this includes club rules.

So far this is just the way I am interpreting the AMA insurance policy from research on the AMA policy provided to members, charter clubs, and flying sight owners. I have requested a copy of the original policy, when it arrives i will set with an attorney and hopefully be able to clear up just how much this so called insurance policy really provides.

Like all of you who are reading this, I have read every interpretation of the AMA policy on RCU. There is only one way to find out for sure. Call the AMA, get a FULL copy of the original policy and read it yourself. (It's $5.00) Anything written in it that is questionable to you can be cleared up by an attorney, or your homeowners insurance provider... A.K.A. your "Primary" insurance provider.

This way you can rest assured you are covered in case you have an "accident". If someone else continues to do something stupid after you have warned them, that is what they have insurance for.

O.K. Ya'll can blast me now!
