Just for clarification, the AMA really does not have any actual flying site rules. The membership manual (cited above) contains some general field guidelines to aid clubs or individuals in setting up fields, but there is no AMA requirement that they be used.
AMA does not sanction, approve, inspect, or have any oversight on RC flying fields. The one and only requirement that even comes close is requiring clubs within a short distance of each other to work out a frequency sharing plan. And that's it.
It is exactly for these reasons that myself and a large number of other passionate flyers do not fly at AMA sanctioned clubs. The local clubs are just an outlet for the power-trips that the officers enjoy. Safety is just another word to them.
We might be called outlaws, but we insist on safe & responsible flying at the fields we use.
