I am also bothered with the fact that by nature there is no incentive for electric pilots to belong to the AMA?
Welcome to the forums 6.05882!,
Sure there is.
They have the same incentives as glow, gas, glider, free-flight, control line modelers do. They will likely need to learn to fly, they may want to belong to an established club that has instructors and a flying field (although they may have some property and know someone to teach them). They may want to support model aviation in general. They may want to join an AMA club to fly their 80" scale P-47 with sound module and have a group of friends to fly with. The list could go on, but each person will have their own reasons in the end.
