To promote the friendly exchange of
information and experience between model aviation modelers and to
develop model aviation as a recognized sport and a worthwhile
recreational activity.
OUR MISSION
The purpose of the RMFM is to provide Albuquerque area modelers whose
principal interest is in aero-modeling with a club that supports the
hobby/sport of having fun with all types of models. The club is meant
to be a permanent, stable structure wherein members may obtain a safe
flying site; relevant social interaction; pertinent and timely
information; personal assistance and instruction; friendly competition;
public recognition; and political clout.
Our business is the efficient management of club resources; the safe
operation of a flying site; the maintenance of a framework for social
interaction for the members, their families, and friends; the delivery
of membership services; the enrichment of the members’ modeling
experience; and the participation in appropriate community
activities.
We value modeling activities of all types, with particular emphasis on
construction and safe operation of flying aircraft; diversity of
modeling interests; individual competence and willingness to share; and
an environment that encourages participation and fosters fair play and
friendly competition.
MEETINGS
We hold meetings once a month. Meetings are held at Cutter Flying
Service, beginning at 7:00 PM, on the third Thursday of each month. We
start with some modeling activity, such as exhibitions of new model
airplanes, a film, or demonstrations of building techniques; followed
by a short business meeting and a raffle.
NEWSLETTER
The Flying Machine News, our newsletter, is published each month,
keeping members and others informed about club and model aviation
activities.
FLYING SITE
We have two beautiful 600' X 60' runways; taxiways and pit areas on
forty acres of leased land on the west side of Albuquerque, far from
homes and businesses. This is an ideal site from which to fly all kinds
of model aircraft.
