Our club was AMA Chartered in 1977 with 25 members present. We are located in the beautiful foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range at about 2000 feet elevation. The nearest cities are Auburn and Grass Valley. We average an annual membership of 45 members.
Our members fly a variety of fixed and rotery wing aircraft at five
different venues.
We sponsor a spring float fly each April at Rollin's Reservior.
We Also sponsor a fall float fly at Scott's Flat Reservior during October
each year.
We fly gas, nitro and electric powered aircraft over a club members
property. It's a nice grass strip with enough overfly area for large
scale aircraft. We do limit the number of aircraft in the air at a
time and we monitor the loudness of aircraft to keep peace with the
neighbors.
We
try our hands at flying indoors in a small school gym one evening a week
during the school year.
The room gets so much smaller when the walls are painted!
Sunday
mornings we own the track and field at Ready Springs School for flying from
8AM till Noon. Only smaller electric powered aircraft are allowed
here.
When enough interest is shown pylon races are held and prizes awarded.
Our flight instructors will and can teach almost anyone to fly, even an exchange student from France.
