From another thread (Forum)
This is from the Jets Forum involving a court case in which the jet owner won a judgement against another modeler b/c the individual took the first guys pin down while he was flying and put his pin up and "turned on". You can read about it there.
Let's look at the AMA thing from the other guy's perspective. IF he has AMA, then surely one of the reason's is for the insurance that covers his modeling related activites. He now has a $5,000 judgment against him from the CA courts because of those activities. They will probably deny coverage saying he was operating outside of the the safety code but it will be interesting to see.
Just wanted to see what people thought. I admit, I have never been very interested in the AMA dealings, I've always just paid because I "HAD" to and flew. Well, now that I'm in turbines, the AMA has become a part of my life and I'm just starting to learn (see the light) about the AMA and care what goes on. Whether that's good or bad, I don't now, but it's the truth and reality. Most people don't care until it affects them.
