Over and over we are told how AMA is not just about the insurance but most if not all discussion is rendered to that one aspect.
Yep, you be right! That is simply because that is the
only real selling point available for clubs to sell the club and prospective new members a reason for joining AMA. The rest is really just "fluff," and has no importance to the average sport flier just seeking to drive his new toy around the sky until he/she tires of it and goes for additional thrills.
Of course the pylon racing thing could work, but the racers have developed their event far too much for the sport flier. "When sex, alcohol, and drugs just don't thrill enough anymore, try RC PYLON RACING!"
Every since the land-owner insurance came into being, the AMA charter club has had one and only one point for their sales pitch. Hasn't changed much!
Well, I am taking a "vacation". No computer or phone for next 4 weeks +/-. Meanwhile check out the 09 AMA Audit Report. You know where to look for it. Just got some RED HOT news about something concerning AMA fundings. Next month!!! [sm=49_49.gif]
