There is a key critical problem being completely glossed over here and I am shocked at the ignorance being displayed.

It concerns the very existance of those coveted flying fields that are under attack here because they don,t just throw open the gates.

Now every one likes to ***** about AMA insurance which covers the member because it is secondary to any other liability they may have in place But-when a group charters a club along with that charter which has a ridiculously cheap fee and comes with coverage for their flying field 'Land Owner' is included for that land owner and it is not only primary coverage but it names the land owner as the primary insured. Period end of story.

Without this certificate naming the land owner (regardless be it public property or private) then a high percentage of those coveted flying sites all accross the country would soon be closed down thats a fact. Obtaining Outside liability insurance for the property owner in most cases is prohibitively expensive that a fact.

Now another point You all keep talking about going to Rc car races and such all over the country and such without becoming a local club member-So-Whats the differance? (this is another point where a lot of ignorance is being displayed) I can as an AMA member travel to any AMA sanctioned event in the country and participate without becoming a local club member period end of story.


Now for what its worth The vast majority of AMA chartered clubs will welcome visiting flyers even when there is no event and welcome them with open arms. In many cases ignoring daily fees which may or may not be in place.

Its a fact of life if you approach folks with an attitude that your clubs suck and you are just old people anyway then it a no brainer you are going to get treated in kind.
