In order for you to become a member of TORKS you must FIRST join the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA).
The AMA is a national-level modeling organization that organizes competition and most importantly provided each of us with $2,500,000.00 (Two Million five hundred thousand Dollars) worth of liability insurance. With new radio equipment accidents are rare but they do happen.
To join the AMA online or call them at 1-800-I-FLY-AMA (1-800-435-9262). This will cost you $75.00 a year for an adult membership($65 / year for ages 65+). They have a FREE youth membership for persons under 19 as of July 1.
