The AMA has nothing to offer the guy who just wants to fly his 10 oz ARF at the park, might as well offer a nun a cigarette. There is no point in the AMA launching some noble effort to recoup or recruit membership. There is nothing wrong with declining membership, the interest in cheap insurance to make flying at club fields possible will never entirely go away. Can anyone here forecast how low the membership level would have to go to cause the AMA to go belly up? What if they did go belly up, would that keep anyone from enjoying this hobby? Not I.
