How do I get started with model aviation?

Start with a beginner-friendly aircraft, learn the safety basics, and connect with a local AMA club for guidance, instruction, and a place to fly.

Do I need a club to start flying?

You do not always need a club to begin exploring the hobby, but a local club can make the learning curve much easier through mentorship, field access, and community support.

What does AMA membership include?

AMA membership helps connect flyers with clubs, educational resources, advocacy, safety guidance, and member benefits that support responsible model aviation.
