AMA insurance only covers you when you are flying within AMA sanctioned facilities ... fields, events, etc.
Sorry, this is incorrect. The AMA insurance covers you anywhere anytime as long as you are following the safety code. In addition, there is no such thing as an "AMA sanctioned facility." AMA does not review, authorize, sanction or in any way officially recognize any flying site.

Thank you,
I had just found the AMA insurance pdf. and was coming back here and you already supplied the link. I don't see any conditions about where you fly, just has to be in the US and not for money. I think the AMA rocks and I love the magazine. It is the only Magazine I read, no more life or time, or playboy etc..
Now as far as sanctioning goes what does this refer to?

Application For Event Sanction
Please read instructions and fill ALL sections out completely
A minimum of 30 days is required to process sanction applications.
Sanction applications and sanction fee payment (payable to AMA) are to
be mailed to the District Contest Coordinator for the district in which the
event will take place. A current listing of all Contest coordinators may be
found on the AMA website "http://www.modelaircraft.org/events/
contestcoordinators.aspx" . Application for class “D” events, FAI and
National Record attempts are to be sent directly to AMA . Sanctions will be
issued for the classification indicated provided the event is in compliance
with the rules found in the Sanctioning Section of the current Competition
Regulations and/or Membership Manual. AMA HQ reserves the right to
change the classification to the appropriate classification as necessary.
