The Newport News Park R/C Club (NNPRCC)
is a group of people who love to build, fly and/or talk about
radio controlled model aircraft. We are chartered by the Academy
of Model Aeronautics, known simply as the AMA. There are several
thousand clubs similar to ours in this country. Any current
member of the AMA is eligible for membership in the NNPRCC.
The NNPRCC members are legally bound by a constitution and
by-laws to perform certain functions. We must adhere to the
requirements promulgated by the AMA and are responsible to set
forth the rules and regulations for our flying site. We hold
regular meetings, assess dues, elect officers, and participate
in group activities, all for the promotion and enjoyment of
radio controlled aircraft building and flying.
The NNPRCC members fly at Newport News Park Aeromodeling Field,
located in Newport News, Virginia. Guests are encouraged to drop
by and meet with the club members and watch the fun and flying.
The busiest flying times are on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
One of the most important aspects of the AMA is education. While
building a plane, modelers learn about math, electronics,
mechanics, physics, aerodynamics, and perseverance. Any one of
these subjects can come in handy on the job market. We at the
NNPRCC challenge you to better yourself. Join the AMA and the
Newport News Park R/C Club. We have experienced members standing
ready to assist you in your new adventure. Be sure to ask one of
our volunteer instructors to help you get your new aircraft up
into the sky and back down safely.
