RE: OUTLAW no more...
You can still fly with out joining AMAjust not a club field that requires AMA for insurance purposes. I live on a farm and I fly off my land lots of times. However I do have AMA for the insurance that if something should go wrong I won't lose the farm. Now I also belong to a club where I am the safety officer so I fly both places. BTWwhen I fly at the farm I do so with 2.4that way I know that I can interfer with someone who may be flying close by. I fly with both 72 and 2.4 at the club field. I speak from experience as to what AMA insurance means.
