How to join AMA
The most important eligibility requirement that the club strictly enforces
is that each member must maintain a current individual AMA insurance policy.
The Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) is a national organization that
exists to further the hobby. Membership provides more than a million dollars
of liability insurance, plus includes a subscription to a monthly magazine
that is quite informative. AMA is also our primary insurance carrier.
