"2. I only plan to fly electrics. For now, probably park models.....However, what determines a park model, from any other
There are no real criteria. "Park flyer's" are generally under 24" wingspan, and modestly electrically powered. "

A GWS Slow Stick is one of the quintessential "Park Flayer's" but it's wing span is 46.3 in as well as being well powered, and there are many more 40+inch ws that fall into the PF category.

The term "license", is a very inappropriate term to used, by joining the AMA you are granted privelges non AMA members don't get access to, BUT those privileges are confined to AMA charted fields ONLY.

Outside of an AMA chartered field (flying in the park), the AMA membership ( outside of secondary insurance ) doesn't do much for you.

The moment I post this, there will be fall out, I post this because, by using the term "license", "Only 2 restrictions", is VERY miss leading ( you guys I think know better).

MANY people have wonderful experiences with the chartered clubs and the AMA and I don't want you to think you won't have a GREAT time being a member of both, I just don't like the limited information/slanted information used in this post to get you to believe this is the only way.


Hope it helps
