Charter # 981

The club holds a monthly meeting, except for December (no meeting in December due to Christmas). The club meetings are held at the flying field during the summer months. During the winter months meetings are held at different locations. For the exact location and time for a particular meeting, please call or e-mail one of the officers. Visitors are welcome, and we encourage all members to attend. The meetings are a forum for members and visitors to express ideas or share comments.

Our current flying field is located east of Birmingham near Moody (click here for directions). Our flying field feature a large covered pit area and a 600' grass runway. Although the field does not have specific facilities for the ‘handicapped’ each is still accessible by impaired individuals. Radio Control surface vehicles are not allowed at the flying field.

Visitors are welcome anytime at the field when it is open. Visitors wishing to fly at our field that have a current AMA membership are allowed to fly on three visits, after which you must join the club to continue using the facilities. We have club instructors available to help newcomers to the hobby learn to fly.  For more information on the Club Training Program, see the Learn To Fly! page.
