Become a North Coast RC Modeler
Join the club and become an RC flyer with year round use of a great airfield where you meet and fly with other RC enthusiasts. Everyone is welcome to join, whether they are just starting out or already fly like an expert. We have about 20 – 25 members and you will often see about 4 – 8 people flying at the field on a calm Saturday or Sunday morning. Members also get together to help maintain the facility, host special events, train new pilots and to attend some of the events hosted by other nearby RC clubs.
Annual NCRCM membership dues:
The club asks for dues because that is primarily how we pay for the mowers, gas, parts, and similar expenses. Occasionally we receive a donation or raise a small amount from a Fun-fly events as well.
$40 per year for adults, $20 if you join after July 1st
$20 per year if you are under 18 years old.
Renew each January (membership will expire April 15 if dues are not paid)
Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) membership is also important
It is important to be part of the AMA as well as your local club. AMA charters local clubs who then adopt AMA rules so that AMA can give liability insurance coverage to the club, its members, and the property owner. Without the liability coverage that your AMA memberships provide we would find it much more difficult to find a location that allows flying. AMA dues are not very expensive considering that they cover a very large loss, send members a monthly RC magazine and do some lobbying and other services for hobbyists. It costs about $58 per year to be an AMA’er but they have a discount for seniors, youth, student pilots and those who fly smaller sized models.
How to join or renew
In person - An easy way to join is just attend the meetings or visit the airfield on a Saturday morning and tell a club officer that you want to be a member.
