blikseme300: You are absolutely correct about the AMA's safety suggestions. I am not sure how many modelers have been sued, and spent some weeks in a court room, but I assure I have while in the automotive repair business. In the case of a model aircraft accident, if the club sued does not have their flying site properly setup, and a bullet proof pilot training course, the members could loose everything they own. My writing was to bring out the safety issue to alert all readers what they could be having to face IF the flying site, and pilot training are not up to what would be reasonable safety standards. Even an out of court settlement could bring some real financial pain to everyone listed in the lawsuit. Just what safety standards can the AMA bring forth for the FAA to examine? Now on the other side of the coin, what would be the reaction of the property owner if the club was not following reasonable safety rules? How would he feel about the possible lawsuit being handed to him? Want to see clubs loose their flying sites, then just mention the non safe flying habits of the club members on a site not set up following the AMA's suggestions. I believe everyone who reads this will not want to discuss with a flying site owner about lawsuits due to a lack of following suggested safety rules. I would hope everyone will review how their clubs operate, so if a lawsuit does arrive they will have a good chance of presenting evidence that the accident was not the clubs' fault.
