The Simsbury Remote Control Club received an AMA Club Recognition Reward of $75. The Club is located in Simsbury, CT. The club participated in the 8th annual Renbrook School Flight Day April 28. Simsbury Remote Control Club has participated since Flight Day started in 2010. The club instructed 4th and 9th grade students in the theory of radio controlled model aircraft flight. The event was covered in the local newspaper “The Valley Press”. The students were able to use computer flight simulators projected onto classroom smartboards. This allowed the students to try flying RC model airplanes. The club covered many aspects of RC planes including types of aircraft, engines and motors, radio equipment fundamentals, and types of construction. The AMA would like to thank the Simsbury Remote Control Club for spreading awareness and teaching children about RC flying. The AMA Club Recognition and Reward Program was established to encourage clubs to promote model aviation. The AMA offers clubs cash incentives for positive local media coverage for a public event, public service, club announcement, or other coverage. Click here to learn more about this program.
