About Us
Eugene
R/C Aeronauts
- ERCA
The Eugene R/C Aeronauts Club holds Charter #530 in District 11of the Academy of Model Aeronautics.
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.
