Membership

All members are required to join the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics), a national organization that provides insurance coverage for model aircraft flyers. Members must be property owners of Pine Ridge. We have regular club meetings on the third Tuesday of each month, 7pm at the Community Center. The field is open for flying during the week and we host a regular scheduled fly-in at our field every Friday at 8 AM, weather permitting. Flying at the field is limited to electric powered, light weight, R/C model aircraft.

Gas or glow fuel powered model airplanes are not permitted.

We have club members who will assist in training new members interested in learning to fly. The training of new flyers is accomplished by using the “buddy box” method where one of our instructors has primary control over the model airplane while the trainee has the ability to control the airplane in a secondary capacity.  These club members have successfully trained several new flyers in the art of radio controlled flight.  A potential new member can fly as a guest of a current member three times prior to making the decision to join the  the club.  The guest must be a member of the AMA.

Flying is limited to 3 (three) aircraft at one time. The Club installed three pilot stations with safety barriers for the pilots and marked off designated parking areas for flyers and spectators. We have worked  with the Pine Ridge Property Owners Assoc. to install a new 24’ x 100’ runway.

Anyone seeking to learn how to fly or obtain additional information about the club can contact one of our club officers or attend one of our meetings. Anyone wishing to observe the airplanes in flight is invited to attend one of our regularly scheduled fly-ins on any Friday morning, weather permitting.

(Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of the month at 7:00 PM in the Fireplace Room at the Community Center.)
