Re: MAAC Question???
Quote:
As an exec in our club, I do not look forward to explaning to someone why there was an accident at our club causing damage or injury even if the are covered by maac, and if they are not covered, that their only option is to sue. flying at joe the farmers field without maac on a non maac site only puts you at risk. but the potential damage to all of us lies in the bad press a non isured pilot could cause if someone were to get hurt. there is the trend to "tar us all with the same brush" when somone does somthing stupid with a radoi controled aircraft, even if it is a guy flying on his own at a non sanctioned site. We have all seen the utube vidios of guys doing stupid things with models and read the comments that follow, so it is in out best interest to keep safety a priority. ok...asbestos underwear is on...flame away Bill

Re: MAAC Question???
i dont have a problem with maac at all and i respect the fact that they are around to help us if somthing goes wrong and you need it to fly at the clubs that is why i am a maac member!
yes flying at joe farmers field with out maac there are some risks but it happens every day ! life is full of risks dont get me started on the utube clips but that being said there is guys that hop on there croch rockets and do stupid stuff i see it every day another thing that i will point out is that alot of guys that have ultra light aircraft fly non isured ! now what do you think would happen if one of them crashed in to somthing ? but to sum it up maac is something you should have but by law you dont need to have

Re: MAAC Question???
Another point. Not having club dues as well as MAAC, why should a person fly at the field for free where everyone else has to pay their way for the privelage of using the field.
