The AMA team has been working to fight local and state regulations harmful to our hobby in the states of New Mexico, Indiana, and Colorado.
While these regulations don't directly effect us in South Carolina, it is worth keeping an eye on some of these legislative attempts to restrict our hobby.

AMA News
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.
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.

New Field Update
LARKS West's lease is up in October 2017. The field has been stripped of most of the fixtures and moved to the new field, thus it is effectively closed. All club members are invited to fly at the the new field in Pelion
E-flite has a new float plane, the Timber. It includes floats with dual steerable water rudders and tundra wheels. Navigation lights, wing tip strobes (daylight bright), flaps and even leading edge slats are also included.
Requires a 6 channel (minimum) radio to activate the SAFE technology and a 3 cell Li-Po with an EC3 connector.
Pretty, isn't it?
