No one shared this information with me, when I was FORCED to join when I joined the flying club....
Forced to join AMA?
All AMA sanctioned clubs will turn you away if not an AMA member. With the 4 clubs I belong to, none have/will ever FORCE you to join.
You can learn ALL ABOUT the AMA yourself in the brouchures given during new membership.
Call the AMA for yourself to have any questions answered... 1-800-435-9262
OR visit the website's ''Ask AMA Customer Support''. I'd go this route as it's less embarassing to ask the AMA 'what you get' for what you paid them for, as opposed to asking an R/C website the same questions and wade through a lot of bickering.
Sure the # is a good idea. But the ''no one forces you to do anything” argument is a bit abstract don't you think????
So no one forces you to have car insurance, but you can't drive without it?
No one forces you to ware cloths but you can't leave your house without being arrested??
No one forces you to buy a house, but you can't build up much equity with out one???
For some, a neg-word sets them off in defensive mode.. This always clouds one's judgment.
I like to hear the both sides of the FOrce.....
The DARK and the LIGHT Side.......
By the way, Ebarrassing, is spelled with 2-r's...... and brochures does not contain a ''U''
Sorry, I had to say it..... ..
I am really just Kid'n.....though....I am lost with out my spell checker....!!!
Umm, people drive without insurance around here all the time. No one gets arrested at Blacks beach whether they're wearing clothes or not and the equity example is just silly, not even any kind of comparison.
Since we're doing english lessons...."ware cloths" should be wear clothes and "ebarrassing" also has an "m".
