I guess the question I have is how each AMA chartered club is going to handle it. My current club which is on public land accepted the old sport fliers membership except for AMA events. There wasn't to my knowledge of anyone in the club that was a member. Its hard to commit to something with no proven history or that has been around such a short time. I might bring up the issue at the next meeting of the club just to see how the "old guard" reacts to it being the only reason some join AMA so they can have a place to fly because the club mandates membership. Also the insurance AMA provides.
