The fact is, a club becoming AMA makes the most sense for the land owner!
A fact? Facts are verified and known to be true. Don’t confuse your opinion with a fact.
How large a shovel do you guys use, when you determine your going to make a mountain out of a mole hill?
That mountain out of a molehill seems to be yours. I advocate keeping it simple. Plumberdeluxe can read through thousands of pages of heated AMA related issues right here on this forum, or with an attorney create his own flying site for himself, his friends and anyone he cares to invite. Sounds pretty simple to me. The nuisance and BS found in thousands of pages here versus forming his own private club and his own rules. If that’s not a no-brainer I don’t know what is.
I have seen or heard of flyers (people I actually know) of all experience levels becoming seriously injured when they unknowingly and unthinkingly stuck a body part into the prop arc! One would have bleed to death, had it not been for the quick thinking of his flying buddys that day. Just this fall one of my flying buddies was adjusting his carb and stuck a finger in the prop. By the time I got him to the hospital, he said he was feeling very light headed. I feel I have been lucky, for 41 years, I have not been seriously cut by a prop. I've also been in the machine trades for 28 years and not been injured, still, it only takes a single moment of not paying attention!
You can’t possibly be suggesting the only way plumberdeluxe can fly with other people and therefore be safer is to charter an AMA club on his property. You didn’t just say that, did you? Plumberdeluxe is a grown man. Plumberdeluxe determines if he makes it a personal rule to fly with someone else. I usually fly alone at my AMA club and so your argument is pointless. Plumberdeluxe as owner of his own private club can make a rule that says no one flies alone, which would be a great rule.
I’ve got a hunch plumberdeluxe will go the AMA route. Whatever he does I hope he goes through it with an attorney. And I hope he comes back in a couple years and tells us how it went.
