The 114th RC Aero Squadron is a not for profit organization of dedicated modelers, hobbyist, and enthusiast of the Radio Control Hobby as it applies to aircraft, helicopters, cars, boats and anything else that goes fast, makes noise and costs money.  We do have bylaws as well as some rules of conduct: All person who intend to fly remote control aircraft or helicopters at the 114th RC Aero Squadron flying field are REQUIRED to be a current member of the Academy of Model Aviation (AMA).  A current AMA membership card or current 114th RC Aero Squadron membership card must accompany all persons engaged in flying or operating a remote control vehicle on the field property.  This is a requirement of the Corps Of Engineers and applies to all without exception.

Key Requirements: All persons who intend to fly remote control aircraft at the 114^th RC Aero Squadron flying field are required to be a current member of the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA).  A current AMA membership card must either be with the person flying remote control aircraft or on file with the 114 RC Aero Squadron.  This is a requirement of the Army Corp of Engineers, the Owners of the property from which 114^th RC Aero Squadron leases the land for the flying field.  (Excerpts from the Lease are included on the back of this sheet.)

Pilots must also adhere to other club rules including the 300’ ceiling mandated by the FAA.

An intro-pilot program is available to all chartered clubs. Qualified pilots from chartered clubs (limited to three per club) may participate. Instructors can train non-AMA members to fly airplanes during a time period of 30 consecutive days, and students are covered by the liability provisions of the AMA insurance policy. Full details are available from the Membership Department at AMA Headquarters.
