So what is one way to get much more out of this hobby you ask? Plain and simple join a club! Joining a club was the best move I made in RC flight. It has opened so many doors and allowed me to meet numerous individuals who all have a similar passion for the hobby. The picture posted with is entry is an event at our club (Aeromodelers of Perrine or AMPS) named Aero fest. This was summer last year and it was honestly as much fun as a real air show!
I have never seen so many R/C airplanes and helicopters at one time. The event went for 2 days and hosted well over 100 fans. There were many WWI and WWII planes, along with turbine powered models and 3D demo's, helicopters, and even gliders. Individuals from all over the country attended and shared many ideas.
When your part of a club you will learn about all these events and they will open up many doors to R/C flight for you. Besides the events there are always the members of the club that are the most important reason for joining. Members that are always willing to give a hand with the engine that is hard to tune, or the radio that you just cant figure out how to work, or maiden your new beauty safely, or give pointers on a perfect landing... the possibilities are infinite and the friends you make are life long in a club. Do your self a favor, join AMA and find a club to be part of. Trust me it will be the best step you take in this hobby!
