Interested in joining us? The first step is to come to a club meeting and introduce yourself!
Regular Club & Friends meetings of the Hamburg Flyers R/C Club are targeted for the first Tuesday of the month at 7:00pm, and generally last one hour. There is no meeting in January.
The regular meeting locations are:
Meeting attendance is important to the club. Members are encouraged to attend as many meetings as possible.
Prospective members need to attend two meetings before a vote for acceptance will be held.
A onetime initiation fee of $50.00 is charged at the time of acceptance to the club.
AMA membership is required. If you are not an AMA member, you can join here.
FAA registration is required. This is a 3-step registration. To fly at the field, you only need a Limited Recreational Operations registration. Which is $5 for 3 years. This registration is good for all your UAS no matter the number that you have. As of 2015 the FAA considers anything that fly’s and weighs over .55lbs an UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) and must be registered.
- Go here and create an account (if you do not have one) and follow the recreation sign-up steps. A credit card is required.
- Go here and take the T.R.U.S.T test. This is from the AMA there are other groups that give this test. Full list here.
- Label the outside of the UAS with your FAA number you received after registering.
You must have ID and proof (card, receipt, or web verifiable number and last name) of an AMA membership and FAA registration (if you have your own airplane) at the time of club acceptance and field solo use.
To promote the hobby and improve site access to the community, annual club dues are waived (regularly $50 - $100).
The township requires a field use fee for anyone flying in the park. The current fee schedule is:
- $5 for Hamburg Township residents
- $10 for non-residents
The township also requires a signed waiver of liability (Hold Harmless Agreement) from all participants. ID confirmation of Applicant and Guardian is required.
