Club membership offers a number of benefits.  The main benefit is use of the flying sites maintained by the club dues and insured by the AMA.  The club also  publishes a bi-monthly newsletter called "The Tale Spinner."  The newsletter has reports of the club meetings, and on the activities of the club.  Newsletters may be found HERE.

The club has training for new fliers.  You can learn to fly with your own plane or by renting a plane from one of the instructors if you don't have a plane.  Flying lessons are free for club members with their own planes.  The training program is describer HERE.
