FLYING TIMES
Weather permitting, flying activities take place nearly every morning. Often, by 10:00 AM, flying is finished for the day, particularly when it becomes too windy. However, members have access to the field at any time. During deer season, flying does not start till after 8:45 AM.
VISITORS
Visitors are welcome, but must park and observe activities from safe vantage points. Visitors are allowed to fly models under certain circumstances regulated by the club's Safety Committee.
JOINING THE CLUB
The club welcomes new members and does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, creed, political, or ethnic background. A prerequisite to club membership is membership in the Academy of Model Aeronautics. AMA application forms are available at Hank Nilsen Field. Flying is regulated by the club's Safety Committee. Experienced flyers seeking membership must demonstrate their skills to the satisfaction of the Safety Committee before solo flying is allowed. New pilots must undergo supervised training and meet the Safety Committee's requirements before solo flying is permitted.
LEARNING TO FLY
For those who join the club, instruction is provided free of charge. The student pilot must furnish his / her own airplane and accessory equipment and the model must meet the Safety Committee's criteria before training commences. Trainees will encounter a very supportive atmosphere within the club. Anyone interested in learning to fly should first consult with members of the club's Safety Committee before acquiring a model and other equipment. For more information, check out the section on this Web Site devoted to learning to fly.
