it seems this goes back and forth......ok i understand the ama insurance thing , why can't the ama sanction that a ama field is a ama field and visitors to a local area have the right for a fee to use any ama sactioned flying field ? see if i join the ama then i'd like to have more benifits then what my home owners insurance gives me , at least when it comes to my rc flying . i do not see myself living i florida for another 2 years so i join the ama then a club then i end up leaving the area and it now does me no good to be in the club , people travel and not all clubs open there doors to you even if you are a ama card holder or belong to some club . maybe i am wrong i think that the ama should get togeather with the clubs to allow anyone that is traveling to enjoy a ama sactioned flying field .  if i belong to lets say the moose lodge i can go to any moose lodge and show my card and i'm welcomed so what everyone is telling me is the ama is only good at ama sactioned flying fields but that is if the exclusive club allows a ama member to fly at there ama sactioned flying field , does that really make sense to anyone ? now i know not all clubs are like this , this is just what i'm seeing in the area i'm in ( central florida area ) i'm not calling out any club names , so i'm not trying to be a butt . i guess if i was to become a ama card holder then i could fly at some ama fields , but if you could fly at any ama field i for one would be a huge supporter and life time member of the ama ...... i'm not saying i wouldn't ever join the ama it is something that i am thinking of because i see some clubs have a open door policy , but why can't the ama have the open door policy when it comes to what almost all clubs claim are ama sanctioned flying fields ? i hope this clears up my question a little better and i really appreciate all that have taken the time to try and help with my question .
