Plane of the Week (March 9th, 2016)
It looks as though the AMA and the FAA will not reach an agreement before the 19th.
With this said we all need to register with the FAA to be in compliance.

2016 LARKS Spring Fling-April 1-2
We have been involved in introducing modeling to children of all ages, sending children to camp, doing flying demos at local schools, churches, and parks. We have also set up simulators and static displays at various locations as an educational experience to our community. We are always open to new ideas to promote our hobby to others in a safe way.
Need something to put that EME 55 in? Try this beautiful SBACH342 from Aeroplus RC and Mile High RC.
LARKS Mission Statement
To promote model aircraft building and flying as a family oriented hobby, to freely and openly share what we have collectively learned and experienced, and to provide an enjoyable, friendly and safe environment for our fellow hobbyists and guests.
