HISTORY OF MINOT
AIRCRAFT MODELERS
Minot Aircraft Modelers is a group of Radio Controlled
Model enthusiasts organized in 1973. In 1990 MAM
purchased the land on which we now have our flying
field. It consists of 55 acres of land of which we
actively fly on 15 acres. The remaining land is
leased and provides an annual income for the club. We
are actively engaged in continuing improvements on our
flying site. We currently have a concession/meeting
building, a canopy building with picnic tables, a
large metal shed for field maintenance equipment, and
recently a bathroom and shower facility has been added
with running water for our entire field. Our
pit area has tables with electricity for working on
aircraft. We maintain two 600 ft grass runways. There
is a large area for parking RV’s with electric hookups
and sewer dumps.
We have about 60 active members from varied backgrounds
including retirees, active businessmen, Air Force
personnel, high school and college students. Membership
in the club is open to anyone with an interest in radio
controlled model aircraft.
The club has instructor pilots to help newcomers with
the intricacies of radio-controlled flight. In addition
members are always happy to help beginners build their
own models. A wide variety of aircraft models are flown
by the members of the club: scale models of aircraft
from the beginning years of flight to the present,
trainers specifically designed to help modelers learn to
fly, gliders, stunt models, fun fly models, both gas and
electric powered, helicopters and jet planes. Some
members even fly planes of their own design.
"Model Aviators have a perfect record in aviation; we
never left one up there!"
