MY INTEREST IN flying models began at
age 10 with Guillow’s rubber-powered stickand-
tissue models of World War I aircraft.
Flying the airplanes off the roof of my friend’s
garage was great sport until our parents heard
about it!
Then I was drawn to the distinct sounds of a
Cox .049 engine circling a parking lot a block
away and was hooked on CL aircraft for years.
If you fly, you know that while you are
looking up at your model, others usually are
too. It is an automatic draw, this fascination
with flight that can be shared with young
people in a planned, structured school-club
setting.
I am a recently retired school administrator
and an AMA member since the mid-1980s. I
have sponsored school flying clubs—first CL
and, as my skills progressed, RC and
helicopters—throughout my 40 years as a
teacher and administrator in both public and
private schools.
As assistant principal of Boulan Park
Middle School in Troy, Michigan, I ran an RC
club for eight years before retiring in 2008.
During my previous school employment I had
taught CL electives for 14 years. I learned by
trial and error several valuable lessons
regarding school flying clubs.
The first had to do with where and when to
run school clubs. Spring and fall in Michigan
provide outdoor opportunities for large foam
trainers that are easy to see and can fly slowly,
such as the Easy Star. The paved track around
the football/soccer field outlines a great flying
field for student pilots.
However, winter in Michigan sends
everyone indoors to fly small electric-powered
airplanes and helicopters in the gym. Because
most gymnasiums and playgrounds are used
during the day and immediately after school, I
scheduled them when no one else wanted them:
before the start of the school day.
When parents would drop their children off
one hour before school started, they would
frequently tell me that flying-club day was the
only one on which their kids were glad to get
up and go to school!
With 20-30 students learning to fly each
year, who would teach them to fly was the
biggest consideration. Throughout the years I
was blessed with help from flight instructors
such as Kirk Detloff from the local hobby shop,
retired fliers Dave Keats and Marvin Muehl,
and other active local AMA club members who
would be on their way to work. Joe Hass,
president of the Skymasters club in Troy,
frequently came to our rescue with demos and
instruction.
Two local hobby shops—Riders of Madison
Heights and Hendersons Hobbies—gave our
student clubs discounts for several years before
they closed. For the last six years Hobby Lobby
International has been the only supplier to give
our school clubs a small price break on aircraft
and equipment, for which we are thankful.
Suppliers and local hobby shops that help
school clubs are making an investment in the
future of aeromodeling and their own
businesses. School-club leaders take great
pleasure in directing students and their parents
to the specific stores or online suppliers that
help the clubs.
In addition to the fun of flying, the club
helped some students with ideas for science
projects and gave career ideas to others. RC
flying bridges the social, physical, and
academic differences among students.
School flying clubs have participation by
students ranging from those who are academic
to those who struggle in class, from those who
are athletic to those who are uncoordinated, and
from those who are popular to those who need a
friend.
In 2007 I was humbled to be named the
State of Michigan
Assistant Principal
of the Year by the
Michigan
Association of
Secondary School
Principals. Their
recommendation
came in part because
I mentored students
through the RC
model club. I must
share that honor with
all AMA members
who assisted me.
When I retired a
year later, the
Boulan club was
continued through
the help of the Troy
Police Department.
Gary Mayer, the
chief of police, gave
permission for Ray
Piper, an AMA
member and officer,
to begin his first
hour of duty in
uniform, at the
school, two days a
week directing the
club.
Ray was also
honored as Officer
of the Year for the
Troy Police
Department. AMA
members are often
very special people
in their
communities!
Retirement
begins a new chapter
in one’s life. For me
it brought the
opportunity to start a
new club at my granddaughter’s school:
Cornerstone Christian School in Brighton,
Michigan.
Under the leadership of President Gene
Doncea, my AMA club—the Hamburg Flyers
RC Club—voted to supply trainers, and
member Tim Wiggle volunteered to help me
manage the new club.
Mike Cisler of the Livingston County RC
Club came aboard as chief flight instructor and
repairman. Mike’s input every Wednesday for
the past three years has been the sustaining
force behind keeping our students airborne.
After two successful years of supporting the
morning club at Cornerstone, I suggested to the
Hamburg Flyers that it consider supporting a

school club in one of the local public schools. I called and made an
appointment with Navigator Middle School Principal Stacey Urbin in
the Pinckney School District.
Fellow Hamburg Flyers Gary Whitlark, Tim Wiggle, and I met with
Stacey, the assistant principal, and a technology-club sponsor, and we
demonstrated flying airplanes and helicopters in the gym. They loved
the idea, and another early-morning club took off under Gary’s
guidance.
The Hamburg Flyers donated airplanes and helicopters for this club
too. Financially strapped school districts appreciate good programs that
supply instructors and equipment for their students at no cost.
The following might help you start a school club in your area.
1. As an AMA club, discuss the idea of sponsoring a local school
flying club. This might include supplying trainers—indoor, outdoor, or
both.
From my experience, grades five through eight are ideal ages for
clubs. Their ability to stay focused and learn quickly might surprise
you.
2. Identify club members who have an interest, are available, and
are capable of teaching young people how to fly. Being able to replace
broken propellers and shafts and experience with gluing foam are
necessities. Not all club instructors have the patience to work with this
age group!
3. Contact an area principal to make an appointment to demonstrate
flying RC indoor foam airplanes and helicopters in the school gym. The
Hamburg Flyers chose the school that the district was allowing it to use
once a week in the evening for winter indoor flying.
4. Assure the principal or his or her designee that safety is the top
priority and that AMA rules will be adhered to. Make it mandatory for
each student club member to join the AMA through its free
membership program.
5. With the principal’s help, identify club meeting days, times, and
rules. It is a good idea to have parents attend the first meeting with the
students if possible. So many students were interested at Navigator
Middle School that Gary had to limit them to eight weeks of flight
instruction, to allow additional groups some flight time.
6. Supply the school media center with old copies of AMA
magazines. Secure copies of the recent AMA Newcomers Guide to
distribute to each school club member. It is a marvelous collection of
flying information.
7. Have the AMA sponsoring club register the school club as one of
its official flying sites.
8. Take a club group picture and supply it for inclusion in the school
yearbook or ask the principal to have the yearbook photographer
include the club members in his or her agenda for picture day at the
school.
I also like to take a club picture with each member holding an
airplane or helicopter and then duplicate it for each member. This
picture posted in the office window is a great advertisement for the
school club—not to mention positive public relations for the sponsoring
AMA club.
9. Notify local newspapers about the formation of a school club.
The papers are usually eager to send photographers to capture students
in the action of flying.
10. Regularly update your local aeromodeling club on the progress
of its sponsored school club. Flightline pictures of students (with parent
permission) learning to fly should be posted on the club’s website, so
everyone can see the great community service that your club is doing.

Encourage your AMA club to invite the
school club to its field, to demonstrate what
the kids can look forward to flying in the
future and to do some buddy-boxing.
I enjoy bringing a couple dozen
doughnuts to our Cornerstone club at 7 a.m.
Most of the kids and instructors have
sacrificed breakfast to arrive that early.
Leftovers are delivered to the school
office for the teachers’ lounge. The secretary
tells me that this sweet bit of public relations
is a hit with the teachers of our fliers!
You never know where this hobby will take
young people. I flew a CL model and an RC
trainer with my nephew, Michael Taylor,
when he was 14, and I gave him a CL
airplane. When he was 17, he called to tell
me he got his license: his full-scale pilot’s
license! He went on to become one of
Delta’s youngest commercial pilots.
Share your skills with a school club and
enjoy the enthusiasm that got you into the
hobby. It is not too difficult for an AMA
club to reap the immediate benefits of
excited young AMA fliers, delighted and
supportive parents, and thankful and
respectful local school district.
AMA clubs can take Bob Hunt’s
suggestion one step further—from “each one
teach one” to “each club adopt one.” MA
