The summer of 2019 saw a fantastic group of ten kids, aged 8 to 12, dive headfirst into the exciting world of RC flight as part of our Summer Camp Program. Over four action-packed days, they learned the ropes of flying First-Person View (FPV) and other RC aircraft, guided by the expert hands of our dedicated LFC club members. The culmination of their hard work and training was a thrilling airshow on the fifth day, where they proudly demonstrated their newfound skills to friends and family.
Unfortunately, the program was put on hold due to the disruptions of the Covid-19 pandemic. We are now incredibly excited to announce our intention to revive this incredible experience in July of 2025. However, the success of these Summer Camps hinges entirely on the support of our volunteer LFC club members. Your help is essential to make this program a reality once more. Members passionate about sharing your love of flight with the next generation please consider helping! To learn more about how to get involved, we encourage you to attend an upcoming club meeting. Please refer to the Upcoming Event Calendar below for the next meeting's details. We hope to see you there!

President’s Perspective By Greg Stone, AMA President | amapresident@modelaircraft.org As seen in the August 2026 issue of Model Aviation.

Mark Feist, Leader Member and DIII AVP The hobby of model aviation and AMA experienced significant growth from 1970 to 1990. From 1990 through 2002, AMA membership moved up and down, but total membership numbers remained about the same overall and across Senior, Adult, and Youth categories; however, since 2002, [...]
By David Cook My interest in model aviation appears to have begun well before I was born. I can trace it back to my father’s attendance at the 1934 Cleveland Air Races in Ohio as a young boy. Growing up, my father and I spent many hours building and attempting [...]
