Newsletter quick tip: Are you trying to read the Newsletter on an iPhone or iPad and you can only read the first page? Try putting your finger on the desired month (Jan, Feb, etc in the Newsletter table.) A menu should open - click "open in new window" or "open in new tab" and you should be able to read the entire issue. It turns out that iOS devices do not properly open a pdf document if it is embedded in an html page.

Introduction
The Seminole Radio Control Club (SRCC) is a non-profit, open membership, AMA chartered club (#216) located in Tallahassee, Florida. The airfield is located 4.1 miles east of Tallahassee on US 27 South, at the Apalachee Regional Park. The entrance to the field has been relocated. We will now be using the main entrance to the landfill. Heading north (south) on Highway 27 make a right (left) turn into the landfill and drive straight back past the weigh station and administrative office. Follow the road as it turns right and look for the new field entrance on your left. The "Field Map" link in the menu to the left will bring up a Google Map showing the location of our field.. The field is leased from Leon County, which is paid for by club dues. Dues also pay for some of its maintenance and various club activities. Facilities at the new field include a pavilion with several picnic tables, pilot stations, electrical outlets, and a port-a-let.

How to join AMA
The most important eligibility requirement that the club strictly
enforces
is that each member must maintain a current individual AMA
insurance policy.
The Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) is a national organization
that
exists to further the hobby. Membership provides more than a
million dollars
of liability insurance, plus includes a subscription to a monthly
magazine
that is quite informative. AMA is also our primary insurance
carrier.
