I think the forum has been over the Insurance topic in an older thread.

What I am really wondering is if USUA provides any benefits over and above what the EAA provides and access to Insurance.
I understand that USUA is, in some ways, like the National Association of Rocketry in that it governs its membership so the Government does not need to. But again, the EAA seems to understand this as well:
There is a statement on the EAA Ultralight Registration page that reads as follows:
"By offering free registration programs for ultralight vehicles, EAA is helping the ultralight community meet that commitment to self-regulation. If we don’t regulate ourselves, the FAA will be forced to do it for us."
I can look up a lot of info on the EAA web page without being a member. With USUA, I need to join to see what I am going to get - all the links on the Home Page take you to the Home Page.
