Red Stick RC Club

al level and have placed well in national class events. Club meetings are held on the last Wednesday of each month (except for December when there is no meeting) at the Public Library on Jones Creek Road, at 7:00 PM. Many meetings will feature a guest speaker, workshop, or program of general interest. Many of the members are qualified and available to assist student pilots in learning to fly. New members who want assistance are introduced to members who can help out. Some of these members have special “Training Cords” which enable compatible transmitters to be slaved to the instructor’s transmitter creating a dual control setup. This will let you learn faster with less risk of crashing. (Before buying any RC equipment, please check to see if the rig you think you want is compatible with a trainer port configuration. All the local hobby shops offer equipment that is compatible if you request it.) Although the flight line is open to members seven days a week, the best time for a new visitor to meet us at the field will be on Saturday or Sunday mornings when the weather is good. You can count on a good turnout on those days and plenty of help getting started. In order to fly at our field (even while learning to fly), you must either, a) be a current member of the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics), or b) participate in our Introductory Pilot Program. AMA membership packets are available at the field, or through the AMA’s web site at http://www.modelaircraft.org. If you are trying to decide whether R/C flying is right for you, you may be eligible to participate in our Introductory Pilot Program. This special AMA sponsored Program permits you to learn to fly for up to 30 consecutive days prior to joining the AMA. Our Club maintains a list of Introductory Pilots and Instructor Pilots. This is a fun hobby, and one that can provide you with a lifetime of enjoyment, challenge, and great friendships. Please feel free to speak with any of our members at the field, or you may contact our club officers at [email protected]
