Becoming a member

Fees

Fees are due 12 months in advance on joining. There is a half year allowance if you join after 1st January of the calendar year. If you are already a member of another club, we welcome associate members.

Wings requirements

To fly solo in any of the disciplines — fixed wing, gliders or helicopters — you must have your Bronze or Silver Wings. If you do not, you must have an observer who does hold their Bronze or Silver Wings with you at all times when flying. The club is happy to assist you in achieving your Wings.

All associate members must be financial with their main club and be able to produce their MAAA card on request.

Why join

As a member, you join a supportive, experienced community and benefit from Comprehensive Public Liability and Personal Accident insurance for peace of mind when you fly.

You will be taught how to safely operate model aircraft and guided toward the type of aircraft that best suits your ability, interests, and ambitions. Expert support helps you avoid costly mistakes and reduces the risk of losing a new model.

Model aircraft flying is a challenging, rewarding hobby. Every flight teaches something new, and the journey toward greater skill is a big part of the fun.
