CLUB INFORMATION

Back

Our club meetings are held the second Monday of the month year round. They are held at the Camp Withycomb military base on 10101 SE Clackamas Rd in Clackamas Oregon at 7:00 PM. For driving directions to Camp Withycomb from your location please click on the Yahoo Maps button below. 

The club membership fees are $55.00 for adults. A.M.A. (Academy of Model Aeronautics) insurance is also required to fly at our fields. It is an additional $48.00 for adults and less for students and seniors. They can be checked out at Academy of Model Aeronautics.

The club membership provides our members with a field in which to fly our planes from, and instructors to teach new members. We are a non-profit organization and our aim is to promote the sport of Radio Control Airplane flying. The Academy of Model Aeronautics is the governing body in the United States and provides us with guidelines and liability insurance if we should have an accident.

Our membership dues cover the cost of renting and maintaining the field and providing members with a monthly newsletter. The club also hosts special events during the year including fun flies, flight demonstrations, contests, tours and shows. For those who don't know how to fly yet, our club provides instructors to teach new members how to fly. The instruction program starts in early May and continues to September. All summer there are at least two instructors at the field every Tuesday evening weather permitting.

Our year 2001 membership finished the year with over 100 members.  The outlook for year 2002 is very good! Guests are welcome at our meetings and at our flying field located in Boring Oregon on Orient Drive just off Route 26.
