Raf-
what?
Of course non-club AMA members can fly at events... what do you calla Fly-In?


The point is,
some clubs have a very open policy toward guest AMA flyers, "More the merrier"
and some are downright uptight over getting their $100+$150 from anyone that even looks at their field.


The OP should investigate how his semi-local club will treat him as a Twice A Year flyer.
Maybe they will say Dont worry about it if you have your AMA card,
maybe they will tell you about all the great stuff you get for the $100+$150 you have to pay
