Membership

Our club is currently open for new members with no waiting list. Membership is on a calendar year basis.

As stewards of this field, membership in the club is required as we are charged with maintaining a safe and respectful environment. If you would like to fly here we ask that you contact one of our officers or members to meet you at the field and explain the few simple requirements for flying in close proximity to full scale operations.

All members MUST have an active membership with the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) and registered with the FAA sUAS (https://faadronezone-access.faa.gov/#/) program.
