How To Join and What It Will Cost
If you're interested in getting involved in RC modeling,
you're in the right place. You should find answers to most
of your questions on this site. Here are some steps to
follow if you think you might want to join us.
Visit
us at our flying field or our meetings. Get to know the
club and some of our members. Ask lots of questions. We can
even arrange for you to take an introductory flight lesson
before you are a member.
Join the Academy of Model Aeronautics. You must be an AMA
member to join the Flying Electrons.
Fill out a Flying Electrons Application and submit it with
your dues and a copy of your AMA card to the club
Secretary/Treasurer. Applications are available on this
site, at local hobby shops and our flying
field.

Now
the fun begins! See our roster list and get in touch with
our RC flight instructors. Often just by coming to the
field you can speak to a experienced flyer. Attend our
meetings and the new member ground schools. You will be
purchasing your first “Trainer” aircraft and necessary
equipment. Now is not the time to make mistakes. During the
assembly/building process ask questions and get it right.
The people on that list have committed to providing
assistance as needed to help you get going on the right
foot.
Finish your plane and get ready to fly. Time to solo can
vary, but should be doable in an average summer or less,
sooner if you buy an ARF.
