Whatever you do, make sure you only base your decision on the insurance aspect of AMA. Please do not consider joining because you are willing to support the only national aeromodeling representation that exists in the U. S.. Do not join just because you want to support the museum, national flying site, education facilities, flying site retention program, or any of the other myriad of benefits AMAprovides to the hobby. Please only consider yourself and your immediate needs. Weigh the benefits of membership only as to how they can benefit you.Chant "me, me, me ,me ......"as you decide. You could save enough money to buy a small LiPo pack.

There you go,thechoice is simple.
