We are an Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) Chartered Remote Control Airplane Club
Mother Nature seems to be cooperating so join us at the Neighborhood Fun Fly Saturday August 8th. Bring a friend, family member, your kids or grand kids!!!
The FAA finally authorized increased ceiling altitudes for UAS flight ops for FRIA fields in Class G airspace. New altitudes limits are the floor of Class E space, which is 700' or 1200', depending on field location. Our field is authorized up to 1200'.
Please note that the minimum manned flight altitude floor is still 500', so it is IMPERATIVE that we all be extremely vigilant in complying with the mandatory Detect and Avoid requirement for all UAS operations. If you intend to fly higher than 400' it is a good idea, though not required, that you have someone spot for you.
Our club has been recognized by Model Aviation Magazine in the November edition for our August Neighborhood Funfly.
Andy Argenio wrote a very complimentary article under District I news. It is worth a read.
We can all be proud for this national recognition.

From the intersection of Connecticut Routes, 85 & 82, go East on Rt. 82 for approx. 2.3 miles. The entry to the field is on the right. If you come to Rt. 354 (Gardner Lake) you have gone ¼ mi too far.
From I395 take exit 80 Rt 82 toward Salem, CT. The field is about 6 miles on the left. ¼ mi past Rt 354.
