something i don't understand, and i may be completely wrong as my knowledge is not to date, but I was able to compete in a NRA shooting match with out having to join the NRA. and I believe the NRA has done loads more for the sport of shooting than the AMA has done for RC flying. Do i really have to be a member to compete at an AMA sanctioned event, and is there a fee to participate at said event?<div>I state i have not shot at a NRA event in a few years, and I have never flown at an AMA event, so I don't know if they charge to enter to fly, and require membership.</div><div>
</div><div>AMA is registered as a non profit organization, witch holds some credit on what they say they do, but it is just acounting tactics at that point. </div>
I have not competed in the shooting sports for several years either, but as I recall most clubs holding matches did require NRA membership. I do know that the events in which I competed were held following NRA rules.
On the unrelated matter of AMA value I think the AMA is a good deal.
