It was a trip to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, that got me started in modeling radio control aircraft. After the inspiration of the Wright brothers, and learning that there were kits, engines, and radios that could be put together to fly my own plane, I was thrilled and jumped right into it. I built my first kit and taught myself how to fly. The learning curve was steep and super exciting!
From the beginning, safety was my number one priority. So, when I learned about AMA and the insurance it provided, I joined and have been a member ever since.
We can't all be pilots of full-scale aircraft, but we can all be pilots with the help of AMA.
