If you were flying at the club, and the club is within regulations, then you are fine.

I'm curious what you think flying at a club has to do with it?
Because an AMA chartered club would have all of the prerequisites that the AMA requires for insurance, i.e. a distinct flightline, separate from spectators, posted rules, and such. All of these regulations can be found on the AMA's website. I'm Not trying to imply that one cannot setup a spot somewhere on their own whereby they would be covered by AMA insurance, but do not be confused. One cannot simply go out, throw a plane in the air, and assume that he/she is covered just because they paid the yearly dues. It's not quite that simple.

Sorry to disappoint you but it is that easy...I am a member of 4 different clubs..I also live on 25 acres and fly here almost daily..I called ama and told them what I did and they said no problem..They sent me the paper work.I had to people look at the damage and sent that in and they sent me a check minus the 250.00 ded....SO yes it is that easy....
