But is it electric friendly(key word) or do those that wish to fly there need to jump through a few hoops?

At my field Park Flyers do not have to join the club or the AMA...although those that desire to stay in the hobby usually join the club as well as the full open status AMA level or will go on to fly at their private locations with their acquired skills but either way they have a very positive outlook on clubs and the AMA from then on.
