“Flying RC planes now for 20 years has built great bonds with fellow members of the hobby. It has given me the understanding why a AMA approved field/community based field is important to ensure the safety for the surrounding community we live in as well as the safety for all surrounding Airports. Clubs also educate fellow pilots to ensure all new and old members follow safe, responsible, and knowledgeable aspects of the hobby. I often see those who think going out on they’re own (Roug pilots) is OK, unfortunately they don’t understand or know what the FAA rules are or even care to know and fly unsafely. It’s not controlled sites (membership clubs) that are the problem, its individuals who don’t join that create the issues.”
