    That's how I did mine last year.

              I wonder if namba is really a good deal anymore that they just about canciled insurance anywhere but registered namba ponds I have heard that ama covers everything surface and air.... is that right bill? I haven't been a ama member in a long time

              ill probably rejoin but really disappointed with there secretly canciling the blanket ins

                The way this weekend is looking, I'm thinking my RC related activities will be "maybe" cleaning and re-organizing my work area. (if I get ambitious)

                Ron, I've heard that AMA provides coverage for air & surface but at the same time seem to recall reading the policy is only good at AMA sanctioned sites & events.
                Regardless, if you want to compete in events, you're still pretty much stuck with NAMBA as most places won't let you race without it (or the $10.00 event fee)

                    I can recall running on a day like that a couple of years back and watching Hugh (hebner) drive to the other side of the lake to pick his boat up after the wind blew it there. That was the day Scott got in the recovery boat and we had to reel him back in with a fishing pole as the motor decided not to run after he pushed it off from the bank and he was headed for the other side of the pond as well.

                            Scott would be much better person to answer on the NAMBA membership requirement. As I understand it, our lake insurance (required by Sarasota county) is supplied through NAMBA to us as a NAMBA chartered club. Being a NAMBA club, NAMBA membership would be a requirement for all of our club members. (I think)

                            On another note (mostly for Rick and any others with stuff you want to sell/swap), the Golden Eagle Squadron is having it's annual swap meet Nov 29 at the Farm Bureau pole barn on Palmer Ave. Link to flyer: http://www.sarasotarc.com/srq_pages/...%202014%20.pdf
