We recently joined the Capitol City Radio Control Club and are fortunate to live close to the flying field at Buddy Butts Park. CCRCC is an AMA charter club. AMA
(Academy of Model Aeronautics) is a self-supporting, non-profit organization
whose purpose is to promote the development of model aviation as a recognized
sport and worthwhile recreation activity. It is the official national body for
model aviation in the United States and the chartering organization for more
than 2,500 model aviation clubs across the US. AMA sanctions more than a
thousand model competitions each year, and certifies official model flying
records on a national and international level. AMA’s website: www.modelaircraft.org
CCRCC’s first Swap
Meet of 2012 is from 10 am – 2 pm on
Saturday February 11 in
the Gymnasium at Alta Woods United Methodist Church, 109 Alta Woods Blvd,
Jackson MS 39204. Admission: $5 per family. There will be free coffee, and
refreshments for sale. The Swap Meets are a great opportunity for
beginners or anyone considering Radio Control as a hobby, to talk with
experienced flyers of all skill levels.
