Westside R/C

Westside R/C Club is a non-profit organization chartered by the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) Chapter 1023. We are devoted to promoting, building, and flying Radio Control Aircraft. Our flying field is located on the north side of Yukon Oklahoma serving all of the Greater Oklahoma City Metropolitan Area.

Membership to the AMA is required of all club members. The Academy of Model Aeronautics, established in 1936, is a world-class association of model aviation enthusiasts. Representing more than 195,000 members in the United States, AMA’s national headquarters is in Muncie, Indiana, also home to the International Aeromodelling Center. Originally created to organize and support competitive aeromodelling, AMA has evolved and today has become the collective voice and advocate for its membership. AMA membership continues to support competitive aeromodelling in the United States, provides a voice for its members with the government, technical expertise covering all aspects of model building and flying, a monthly magazine filled with articles covering all aspects of aeromodelling, and supplemental insurance to help cover members for any damages their aircraft may cause.

Club operations are handled by a Board of Directors elected annually by the club membership. The President, Vice-President, Secretary-Treasurer, Safety Officer and the Field Marshal work with the membership to maintain the flying field, sponsor club events, provide training for new members and community outreach.

Westside R/C is a participant in the AMA’s Introductory Pilot Program. This program is designed to introduce people to flying radio controlled aircraft with qualified instructors while providing liability insurance coverage to the non-AMA member and the club. People signing up for the program are allowed to visit the field 3 times to fly with an Introductory Pilot Instructor using a club training aircraft. In addition to the Introductory Pilot Program, the club also provides training for new members to help you learn to fly using one of the club trainer aircraft or yours.

Our flying site, Holman Field, is located at 420 W. Wagner Rd, Yukon, OK. The field contains a generous 700’x 125’ unobstructed grass runway surrounded by acres of farm fields. A covered shelter, spectator bleachers, outhouse and parking areas are provided. For safety reasons, only AMA members are allowed in the pit area but members are always happy to answer visitor’s questions. The property is locked and each active club member is provided a combination.

Our Club Membership dues are $55.00 per year with an initiation fee of $10.00. Second family membership for spouses, children 16 to 21 years of age, living at home, and full time students, not necessarily living at home is $15.00. Junior membership, for those under 18 years old, is $5.00 per year. Memberships expire each year on December 31st.

Westside R/C is active in all phases of R/C flying; sport, scale, helicopters, gliders, giant scale and drones. We sponsor many events during the year, ranging from Fun-Fly’s, Scale Events, Swap Shops and an annual Christmas Party. The Club meets on the (2nd) second Monday of each month at 7:00 PM. During the colder months, October through April, we meet at the Mabel C. Fry Public Library, 1200 Lakeshore Drive in Yukon. During the remaining months we meet at the flying field to have a short meeting and fly.

Visitors are always welcome. If you have any questions please contact one of the board members, come out to one of the meetings or come out to the field. We hope to see you soon.
