Hello!!
Welcome to
the exciting world of Radio Control Model Aircraft!
We at the Vaca Valley Radio
Controllers (VVRC) are happy that you have shown an
interest in our hobby.
We are anxious to
meet you and welcome you into our club. We extend an open
invitation to join us
at our flying site in Fairfield.
The site is located in Fairfield on the south side of
Cement Hill Road between Claybank and Peabody Roads.
Look for the VVRC sign.
The best time to visit is on Saturday or
Sunday from about 9:00 a.m.
to 1:00 p.m.
We hold monthly meetings on the second
Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m.
We meet at the County Aviation Building Nut Tree Airport
in Vacaville.
At the meetings, we have instructional talks, show &
tell, a raffle,
and a lot of hanger flying'. We also
discuss business.
If you are new to
or just curious about
the sport, we will provide you with an introductory flight lesson using
a club
model and the Buddy-Box training system.
If you get hooked on flying (we believe you will) we will
assist you in
selecting a trainer-style plane, radio and equipment, and provide some
assistance in constructing the model.
We
will provide flight instruction, at no cost, after you acquire an AMA
license
and join our club.
We can provide
instruction during the week as well as on Saturdays and Sundays. If you
are already a qualified pilot and
wish to fly, you will need a current AMA License and must be willing to
have
your aircraft safety checked.
We will
brief you on our flying site rules and may ask for a checkout flight,
if you
plan to fly solo. You are welcome to fly
with us as a guest for 3 days.
After
that our By-Laws require termination of your guest status (scheduled
contests excepted).
To join our club
you must first belong to
the National Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA).
This
organization provides necessary personal
and club insurance.
You can join the AMA
online at www.modelaircraft.org.
We also have membership applications
available.
Open (adult) membership is
$58.00 per year.
Youth membership is
$1.00 without the AMA magazine subscription or $15.00 with the
subscription.
New senior member dues in our club are
$50.00 (prorated quarterly from January 1) plus a one-time initiation
fee of
$50.00 (not prorated).
Thereafter,
annual dues are $70.00.
Junior
membership is $5.00 per year with no
initiation fee.
Whether you join our club or just want to
see what is going on, we would be happy to have you visit our flying
site!
Please be SAFETY conscious - The
pit area and pilot boxes are reserved
for
pilots only!! See you at the flying site!!
