how to join

This can either be obtained from another member of the club, from one of our participating hobby stores, or downloaded below. If you have purchased an aircraft from any of our participating hobby stores, be sure to ask for our special offer for new members with 50% off our membership fees. 

You will find the current fees for adult, family, and junior members on the form. 

The application can be found below. If you are a current AMA member, please be sure to put your number on the application. 

The link below will take you to the FAA website for recreational flyers. Please read this page in its entirety, and then create an accout and register at DroneZone. 

This test will take 15-20 minutes, and there is no fee involved. This test is part of an educational campaign that provides prospective users with the information and guidance they will need to fly safely and responsibly. Upon completion, a certificate of completion will be displayed. PLEASE screenshot or print this documentation and provide to membership director. 

These manuals contain our rules and regulations for flying at the field and elsewhere. Be sure to read them thoroughly and become familiar with all aspects, including the boundaries in which we must stay inside. After you read and study the manuals, sign the last page and attach with your applications. 

Our dues are payable from April to April of each year. For those people who join after September, our fees (along with the AMA fees) are reduced. See the bylaws for the current dues structure. 

This includes the Sky Knights Application, proof of AMA Application/Membership, TRUST Certificate of Completion and signed last page from the Membership Handbook. 

These should be mailed or given to one of the officers or the membership chairman. Once all is approved, you will be awarded a membership card. This membership card is placed on our flying board whenever you fly your aircraft. 

Once your application is received, you will be assigned an instructor who will check you out on the type of aircraft you want to fly, ask some questions about what you read in the handbook, and have you fly certain maneuvers as outlined in the Sky Knights Training and Instruction Manual. Please print off the checklist below. 

Once you have satisfied the instructor and shown you are able to fly in a safe manner while understanding all the rules of the club, you will be able to fly on your own. It is at this point that you will be provided the combination to the field gate.
