Santa Fe Dam Radio Control Modelers

Santa Fe Dam Radio Control Modelers

The Santa Fe Dam Radio Control Modelers have been awarded with a Flying Site Development Improvement Grant worth $650.00. The Santa Fe Dam Radio Modelers, formerly known as the Sierra Madre Radio Control Modelers, have been an AMA Chartered Club for more than 30 years. The club is located in Los Angeles County, California. Club members fly all types of model aircraft from glow (nitro) engines to slow stick aircraft to scale model fighters to giant scale aerobatic aircraft. The Santa Fe Dam Radio Control Modelers host monthly meetings, Float Fly events at the Santa Fe Dam Recreation Center, Fly-Ins, barbecues, swap meets, and provided educational outreach to community schools and organizations. The club applied for this grant because their runway is more than 30 years old and was in dire need for repairs. There were large cracks in the asphalt and these had to be filled by a contractor. This is the club’s first time applying for this grant as they have previously used funds provided by club membership. The total cost of this construction project was $6,500.00.
