So I looked up the AMA local club when I first joined the site. There are a mass of forums here to say the least. Can someone give me a link to where I need to go to look the local club up again. I looked over the AMA website itself from the AMA forum sticky but still didn't see it. I'll probably call the guy I know who is the head of the local club here and see if I can get stuff rolling. I'm guessing they will be flying in december/Jan it will be pretty cold. Also can someone give me the background on the AMA. It seems as if I'm not a member of this mystical orginization then I'll have to go play by myself. Who made them the boss etc, is the sorta vibe I'm getting from reading this. Not to diss or say bad things about them, It seems like they do provide good services. I'm just wondering why things are the way they are.

AMA is a good thing. They help clubs get started, people get started, etc. Most clubs won't let you fly without the AMA insurance. Planes get out of control and there have been countless times here where they ended up out of site and on people's property. If something happens, it's nice to know you were responsible and shouldn't have much to worry about.
