By joining the AMA you will become one of the thousands of registered RC pilots in the country, and will have the insurance coverage necessary to fly at any AMA sanctioned field, including the Bits and Pieces RC Club Field in Heritage Park, Adrian. Membership also provides the individual with a subscription to Model Aviation Magazine.

Prospective members can submit their membership form and dues in a few ways. A membership with club dues can also be submitted to one of the club officers at the club field. They can also send their membership information to our Treasurer.  Include proof of AMA membership, a self-addressed and stamped envelope, dues, and membership form in a letter to the address indicated on the member information form.

These rules are available online and are posted at the airfield.  A visit to the flying field or membership meeting is also suggested.
