Why bother finding a local club after joining as a member, you ask?  For many reasons, some of which include:  finding a mentor to help you learn, join a community that loves to welcome new and experienced to the hobby, fly in a safe place, see what others are flying and learning about that you haven’t seen yet!

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.

Youth memberships are free, and adults are on a yearly or lifetime basis.  You can subscribe to their great publications and utilize free education on the website.  They host a ton of events and with your membership you can get free or discounted admission to all kinds of aviation related events.  Most importantly, members are covered under the AMA insurance policy when flying AVs in accordance to the guidelines!  Many places will not let you fly without a membership and this insurance.
