What the AMA is allowed to do is prohibit you from flying your model rocket on any AMA chartered flying field, if you do not possess AMA membership. It's the same principle. If you don't have the AMA, you are not allowed to operate your model. John
Unfortunately, an all too common misconception. Not hard to understand why though. It seems AMA is happy to perpetuate that belief...So are most clubs.
