Our Goal
The goal of the Central Arizona Modelers is to aid and encourage the interest of the members of the club and people of the community in design, construction and safe operation of radio-controlled model aircraft, so we can all enjoy the pleasures and satisfaction this hobby brings.
While we are overwhelmingly a sport-flyers club, our members and guests enjoy everything from trainers to scale to 3D. We would like to encourage anyone visiting Central Arizona and the Verde Valley to come out to fly with us. Guest flyers are always welcome. Membership in the AMA is required, of course, for insurance purposes. We have an active and experienced training program with buddy boxes for all radio systems. Central Arizona Modelers is made up of model airplane enthusiasts of every age and background. The only common thread is the love of aviation in general and radio control models in particular. |
Our Interests
Our interests are more social than competition though we do hold an occasional contest. Recently, people seem to be enjoying electric T-28 pylon races. The infrequent glider contest has its adherents as well. A typical day at the field will see 20 modelers with planes in the pits, 2 or 3 flying, and the rest relaxing under the ramada solving the worlds problems and "encouraging" landing pilots. Winter flying finds the field at it's most active.
Central Arizona Modelers was founded in 1979 by several self-taught flyers, several of whom are still active in the club. We currently support over 100 members. |
