About Us
Eugene RC Aeronauts
- ERCA
The Eugene RC Aeronauts Club holds Charter #530 in District
11of the Academy of
Model Aeronautics.
This club, which is
incorporated under the laws of the State of Oregon, shall
be known as "EUGENE RC AERONAUTS" of Eugene, Oregon. The purpose of
this club is to promote the hobby of radio-controlled
model aircraft.
Our flying site is located near Alvadore which is
approximately 10 miles north of Eugene Oregon.
The Aeronauts have instructors in the club to help you
get started and teach you how to fly. There are
accomplished pilots who have accumulated hundreds if not
thousands of hours of flight time and they are really nice
people.
Until you solo, you should always fly with an
instructor. This is the best way to learn how to fly
RC. If you insist on flying by yourself, especially in
the early stages, your aircraft is doomed
When you visit our airfield you will see and hear model
airplanes of all shapes and sizes. Be aware that RC
airplanes are NOT toys, they are miniature aircraft.
Some planes are capable of flying at speeds over 100 miles
per hour.
To fly at our airfield you must be a member of the Academy of Model
Aeronautics. You can pick up an application to the AMA
at most local hobby stores, you can contact us and we will
send one to you or join AMA
online. We suggest you send in your application early
as it takes one to three weeks for the AMA to send you your
membership card.
Feel free to contact us with any questions.
