Just what can they do. They have a support system in place that club can contact to get
PR material to use as ammo to sell themselves. The number of AMA members has been in steady decline over the past few years and more than likely the slide will continue. I don't know about were your city's economic situation but ours sucks there's just no money for specialty groups such as ours not to mention enough land available for our use.. There just isn't enough money to finance a new every field that's lost. Here we can't even use a city park due to city ordinances that specifically band RC Aircraft in a city park. So what do we do. Were going it alone found the property signed a long term lease and now are in the process off financing the project.

Hi Mike-
Hope you don't think I was ignoring you; I have several vocations and avocations, and another rose to the top.
I guess I wasn't very clear in my last post that you replied to. See my reply to bradpaul for clarification. I'm not (at this time) looking for means to establish new fields of the FBO sort to accommodate clubs, but rather focusing in on what AMA might do to support acquisition of and and sustain 'flying sites of opportunity' for the AMA members (and fellow non member modeling enthusiasts) that need them. Not to be windy, take a look at my last post to the "
Would you pay $78.00 a year for AMA if they offered PRIMARY insurance?" thread. I propose looking at that option as one way AMA could help, mutually the org and the members. I'd like to hear your critique; none yet and I'm thinking it might be too off-the-wall. I can handle it if so, and invite you to fire away.
