Do you want to introduce model aviation to your friends and neighbors and receive local recognition and financial benefits in return? If you answered “yes,” then you’ll want to know more about AMA’s 2008 Take Off and Grow (TAG) program.

Developed to encourage our members and clubs to promote modeling as a positive recreational activity to those in their communities, TAG was the first of several new programs implemented by AMA in 2007. Intended primarily to indoctrinate and welcome the general public to our hobby, TAG basically provides a one-day extensive introduction of model aviation with the intent of drawing new people into our hobby. This is followed by a flight training program for new members gained from the opening-day activities.

See Dave if you would like to volunteer and/or donate a computer to this great way of getting new people interested in the sport. AMA has a limited number of openings for 2008. If your club would like to partner with AMA to promote model aviation and open the door to growing your membership, contact us at (765) 287-1256, Ext. 516 and an application package will be sent to you promptly.

On May 17th the Club hosted its T.A.G. program. On hand instructors were Dave Graves, Kirt Hasselswert, Mike Roxberry, Jerry Maes and President Steve Carmer.

Ten people showed up and took part. The introduction to flying was given by Mike and Dave. Students then flew on simulators and watched exibition Flights by Mike and Jerry.

The temp was nice but winds were high so training flights were minimal.

Special Thanks to all who helped.
