AMA Gold Leader Club #1659 - Denton, Texas
.
North Texas Aeromodelers (NTA) fly at a field located at a
North Lakes Park in Denton, Texas. The
park is owned by the City of Denton but the field improvements and
maintenance is provided by club and its members.
NTA is known as the friendliest RC Club in North Texas. Everyone is
welcome even if you do not own an RC plane or helicopter. In fact, you
can schedule an introductory flight with a club instructor before you
buy in to the hobby. You won't find a more helpful and knowledgeable
group in North Texas.

Congrats to the Scale Fly-in Winners!
Introductory Flight Training Program
To introduce prospective aeromodelers to the thrill and
excitement of flying radio controlled aircraft, the club (along with
the generous support of our local Hobby Shops), is sponsoring an
introductory flight program. The club will provide the model, radio,
fuel and a qualified trainer; all you have to do is bring yourself!!
Introductory Flights are free and highly encouraged! Everyone is
welcome to "give it a try"! See "Welcome to the club"
under the Membership tab for NTA certified instructors.
Basic Flight Training Program
Once you have your own aircraft, our expert instructors will
teach you to fly with confidence and safety. Learn at your own pace.
We will take you step by step through your first solo flight. Free
to all club members.
Getting Started
Although you may like to start out with high performance
aerobatic aircraft, you must resist temptation. Learning to fly R/C
aircraft requires a good trainer plane and lots of practice. Many
kits and ARF (almost-ready-to-fly) models are available as trainers
including the Hobbico Nexstar and Hangar 9 PTS P-51. Be sure to
visit your local Hobby Shop for advice and personal assistance and
to see the latest items available!
When
Most every Saturday or Sunday, weather permitting. You can also
schedule time with a NTA instructor during the week. See the
Membership page for further instructor information.
Note: Winds in excess of 20 mph are not considered good days to
train.
