I personally find the AMA dues fairly reasonable. I get insurance and my club gets guidance from a national organization with a fairly large membership. If we're all on the same page when it comes issues of safety, noise, etc... , the better off we'll be in the long run.
no kidding what is it like 50 bucks a year for ama plus club fees (mine are 100)
if you hit someone with your plane your looking at 20000+ in medical fees, or hit a car (500+) and if you were to kill someone, you would be so screwed without insurance
