Some of the guys have been FPV racing all summer … they are getting better all the time.  We meet as a club every first Monday of the month at Bell’s Nursery at 7:30.  We haven’t been flying at Storck.  There is always help for new guys - everyone has been there.  We only require AMA membership.   Do you live in ANC or the valley?  Check us out on Facebook!

I'm as green as you get when it comes to RC flight of any kind, but I want to learn and thought a local club might help. I realize most of your members are probably serious RC plane pilots, but I'm hoping you can steer me in the right direction for support for my new drone.
