Prince George’s RC Club was founded in 1963 on a 1 acre patch of land on top of a hill in Upper Marlboro, Maryland by 15 modelers looking to get together regularly to fly.  By 1972, PGRC moved to a 1000 acre site with 2 400 foot paved runways that quite literally paved the way to increasing their membership to over 200 members… including EDF pioneer Bob Violett and pylon icon Cliff Telford.  Events such as the nearly 30 year old Big Bird Warbird event bring pilots from all over to enjoy the PGRC, and now we’d like to offer our congratulations for all of their hard work by naming Prince George’s RC Club February’s Club of the Month!

January's AMA Club of the Month is The Riverside Aero Modelers Society!   The Riverside Aero Modelers Society is located in the Yadkin foothills of East Bend, North Carolina.  Averaging around 90 members, the RAMS membership pilots a variety of aircraft from giant scale to park flyers in multiple disciplines such as jets, electrics and even gas engines;  all flying from a 1000 foot runway that affords a beautiful panoramic view of Pilot Mountain State Park.  The RAMS’ goals are simple:  to promote the fun and safety toward the sport of aero modeling.  This is accomplished in part by a membership who offers inclusion, respect and fellowship to all of its pilots.  And thanks to this philosophy, events such as their Premiere Warbird event, all electric fun fly, Dragonfly Helicopter event and their memorial giant scale event generates loads of fun for all visitors.. making them feel welcomed and appreciated.
