We're chartered under the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA). The club has been in existence since 1965. Over the years our membership has grown by improving our field facilities and by fostering our relationship with the community. Our pilots range in skill level from beginner to expert and fly a variety of fixed wing aircraft, helicopters and drones. Boyington Field features a variety of facilities not commonly found at most RC flying sites. In the last year we've installed sun shades, a 300 foot Geotech fabric runway and brought city electric power into our clubhouse. We also have portable restrooms on the field. While we aim to have fun, our focus is on safety. We comply with all AMA and common sense rules. Our field has also attained FRIA status which makes it an FAA Recognized Identification Area. This is a highly sought credential for all clubs, and it means that we may fly without Remote ID equipment. Because of our FRIA status, we do not need to install costly equipment to transmit telemetry to the FAA. |
