UMA - lets see.

Have they ever paid any insurance claims?
I know the insurance $ values but what does it really cover - anyone know? Do they cover any liability claims other than accidents and is it member-to-member only? Are stolen items covered?

No site insurance - well maybe you can find a stupid site owner.
I'm sure it would be good for a club to have some UMA members and some AMA members - who is covered for what then?

What if the FCC wants to take away some of our frequencies - will UMA step in? Yeah, right!

It looks like a smaller operation (maybe only one man) than SFA. What are their finances - is that available to members?
You get insurance for $38 and nothing else - they don't tell you on their web site what it costs to charter. No UMA events are listed or how many clubs belong. Will they be here tomorrow if you need them? Have you ever seen a UMA ad anywhere or do they survive by word of mouth? Is it just a money making scheme?

Is U-control, indoor, or anything other than RC and FF covered - those are the only two mentioned and no safety code for UC.

By the way, SFA took legal action against AMA first - made some untrue statements and AMA took them to task.

Go ahead - join UMA but don't expect to fly at my club field unless you are also an AMA member.
