Spartanburg Sky Knight's Club Letter
The Spartanburg Sky Knights Radio Control Model Aircraft Club is dedicated to promoting the sport of model aviation in the Spartanburg, SC area. This enjoyable hobby consists of building and safely flying radio controlled model airplanes and helicopters.
The
Spartanburg Sky Knights club is chartered with the Academy of Model Aeronautics
(AMA) and the International Miniature Aircraft Association (IMAA). You will
have to be an AMA member before you can fly your model aircraft at our field.
You will find that to be true at any AMA sanctioned field. The AMA provides
liability insurance to clubs and to each member.
The
flying field is part of the Croft State Park system and it consists of a 75' x
400' asphalt runway. Feel free to stop by anytime the gate is open. The Sky
Knights have been given the responsibility of securing and maintaining the
field. Our club members paid for the pavilion, tables, and fences. You will see
trainers, fun fly, warbirds, and electrics, large scale airplanes with gasoline
engines and helicopters. Sundays are active with all types of aircraft.
Anyone
interested in learning about model aircraft is encouraged to attend the regular
club meeting at the Skyknights flying field. These meetings will be announced
on the club web site home page. Members will be pleased to provide information
and assistance concerning airplane and helicopter kits, engines, radio, and accessories.
Anyone
interested is, also, invited to come to the field and visit with the club
members. The club has several qualified instructors who can teach you to fly
your airplane or helicopter successfully. You are welcome to watch as many
times as you like but, after three (3) active flying visits to our field, we
would request that you apply for membership to our club. Our dues are $30.00
per year.
Saturday
mornings, and Tuesday evenings during daylights saving time, are active with
helicopter flights and setups.
