>>AMA does not provide insurance coverage..

Gad, the mars question is perfect here. Insurance certianly is provided, especially if your a site owner.

>>AMA does not provide tutorials..

Just reading my April MA right now.
Bob Aberle has a great article about the Basics of Radio Control Systems...
Part IV of Project Extra, Controlling Systems was superb and even though I've been flying large airplanes for years I still learned a few things I'm going to use on the 80" CAP 232 I'm building right now.....
Sure sounds tutorial in nature to me!

>>AMA does not require safety inspections <unless over 55#>

I will not fly my model at sanctioned events until it has been proven airworthy.
I will have completed a successful radio range check prior to the first flight....
Et al.....

Sure sounds like the basis of a safety inspection to me. Just because you are graciously allowed to inspect it yourself doesn't mean a safety inspection is not required!
