So you, I guess, just don't fly models unless at an AMA chartered flying field or another location you have written permission...but what if you are afraid of some stipulation in their (AMA’s) policy interpretation that would leave you without coverage in the event of an incident...then maybe you don't fly at all... Where does it end... when you rely on other's interpretation of your responsibilities or liabilities?

Are you confident, that if your model experiences radio interference, goes out of control and hurts someone to the tune of $450,000 of medical damages, not to mention other damages, AMA’s Insurance will pay?

Are you willing to risk it all on that bet?


I am not just intending to be argumentative but we should take responsibility for our actions and always do things to the best of our ability to insure maximum safety regardless of the insurance we have or think we have, whether at the chartered flying field, the park, schoolyard or wherever.

Being responsible goes beyond buying some insurance and thinking we have done the right thing.
