Default might want to check that AMA insurance

Minnflyer,
you might want to contact AMA directly and check what you said on the insurance requiring an AMA sanctioned field or event. I believed that to be true, but contacted the AMA about six months ago, and was very clear about having the opportunity to fly on privately owned farmland, and that I was interested where AMA's insurance stood on the issue, I was told flat out if I was an AMA member, and flying using all of the AMA's operating procedures, I would be covered. I even wrote back to clarify and said, so if I lose control on private land, and by some chance the plane manages to make a beeline for the one neighbors home, at least 3/4 of a mile away, I'd be covered, and I was told yes. I recall correcting myself in a post some time ago as well, as I had been saying also that you had to be at an AMA site. I don't think that is true.
