Club Meetings:

Unless otherwise noted, all meetings are held at:

El Aero Services, 2101 Arrowhead Drive, Carson City.

Check the home page of our web site to find out where the next meeting is to be held. Meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m. Visitors and guests are always welcome. At the meetings, we discuss club business, report on current model-related events, and sometimes have a show-and-tell session.

Club Newsletter:

Our club newsletter, Sierra Signals, is mailed monthly to all members. The newsletter's primary mission is to facilitate communication within the club. Keep in mind that producing material for the newsletter is not the sole responsibility of the editor. All of us can and should contribute. It's important for club members to share their experiences and knowledge for the benefit of others. Did you just attend a special event that others might like to hear about? Have you bought a model product lately that you think is fantastic? Do you have an idea or a building technique you'd like to share? Want to make an announcement? Got something to sell? Remember that only a portion of our membership attends the meetings, but all of our members get the newsletter. Articles, how-to's, classified ads, etc. are always needed.

Academy of Model Aeronautics:

The Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) is a national organization, encompassing all facets of modeling, including radio control, free flight, and control line. The High Sierra RC Club is charter member #1362 of the AMA, with over 70 members. There are over 2500 clubs chartered with the AMA, and total membership is nearly 200,000. Membership in the AMA is required by High Sierra RC Club. As an AMA member you will receive a monthly magazine, Model Aviation, you will be eligible to fly in AMA sanctioned events like contests and fly-ins, and your modeling activities will be insured. AMA insurance provides general liability coverage; accident/medical coverage; and fire, vandalism, and theft coverage. Keep in mind that AMA insurance is secondary to any other applicable coverage, such as homeowner's.

Flight Instruction:

Although our club does not have an organized flight instruction program, we do try to keep a club trainer in flying condition and instructors are generally available to help. We also have a computer simulator available on a loaner basis. If you are in need of flight instruction, please contact the club ( Contact Page ) for more details.

Guests:

Anybody visiting the Carson City area that holds a valid AMA card is welcome to fly at the Pony Express Model Airpark field at no charge. Guest are welcome as long as there is a HSRC Club member present while they are flying. They must show a current AMA card, and they obey the AMA safety code as well as the club rules. High Sierra RC Club is open to anyone with an interest in model aviation and welcomes your interest.
