The World of Model Aviation

Model aviation has fascinated people of all ages from all over the world for years. It is an outstanding form of recreation, sport, and education for younger people and meeting new friends. Model aviation has a large diversity of modeling interest groups. They range from radio control, soaring, control line, helicopters, aerobatics, jets, and free flight models just to mention a few. The Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) is one of the largest model organizations in the world. A wealth of information regarding model aviation can be found at the Academy of Model Aeronautics website. If you are interested in model aviation, a beginner or an experienced modeler, I recommend investigating the Academy of Model Aeronautics website. Another great source of information about RC model airplanes is the Model Aviation’s Sport Aviator website. This website is devoted to helping RC model pilots and there is an abundance of information found on their website.
