Join the AMA!
Would you like to, or have you already started flying RC (remote control)? This is a great, fun way to experience the joy of flying! It is also a great way to learn many skills including building, engineering, technology, coding, circuitry, art and design, planning, and more!
RC flying is something all ages can enjoy, and just like full scale flying there are so many different areas to get into with different types of aircraft and different types of flying. Below are some important areas to consider, groups to join and other resources for this exciting area!
Join the Academy of Model Aeronautics If you and/or your child are interested in flying anything RC or would like to get more education and read about exciting things in this field I highly recommend joining the Academy of Model Aeronautics.
