SANFORD AERO MODELERS INC.
SANFORD, FLORIDA

Sanford Aero Modelers at the Lee Dargue Facility The Sanford Aero Modelers was founded and chartered with the in 1978 by a small group of individuals interested in promoting Radio Control Model Airplanes in the Sanford area. Over the years, the club has grown to its current maximum of 130 members who have a variety of backgrounds, interests, and levels of modeling and flying experience. The main focus of our club is to promote safe model flying in a non-competitive atmosphere. In other words, we are in it for the pure joy that model building and flying can and does provide. Coupled with the fellowship of being with like-minded individuals, the bottom line is to have fun. To introduce newcomers to the joy of RC flying without the normal up-front investments in the hobby, the club offers a unique program, �The Introductory Pilot� program. This was established by the AMA to allow certain instructors of a chartered club to provide hands-on exposure to non-AMA members. In this program, the designated instructor pilot�s AMA insurance has an attachment to cover non-AMA flyers. The program allows up to two month�s participation, using equipment owned by the club, instructor, or the flyer. There are requirements that must be met before starting; they deal mostly with briefing the new pilot about safety issues and having the pilot read and sign a form. If interested, please contact our Chief Flight Instructor or one of our Introductory Pilots, who are listed on the
