At the last club meeting the consensus was to encourage the county to maintain the requirement for AMA for everyone’s liability protection.
I dont understand.
If the clubs contract/agreement is that M-W-F the land is not an AMA club,
then there is no club or Muncie liability if someone gets killed on Monday, right?
AdHoc kids are not required to join Little League to use county provided public ballfields in much the same way adhoc RC flyers dont need insurance to use county provided public RC Fields.... our tax dollars hard at work, but FOR flyers this time
Sounds like the municipality is promoting aeromodeling for the people,
by using city insurance to protect city assets from aeromodeling liabilities on MWF,
and providing land for aeromodeling use to the public
(AMA club is part of the public).
Why is a charter of AMA opposed to that.
Would this Liability you speak of be a problem to folks concerned for aeromodeling's future
if the county opened some other land to public flying? Some non-AMA park somewhere.
Sounds like you still have a sweetheart deal
Your club gets exclusive use land for both weekend days
whereas the working stiff public cant fly on the weekend.
I'm sure lots of parents love their children enough
to miss a day of work to take the kid out of school to fly a toy plane.
Dont rock the boat
