Minot Aircraft Modelers

Field Rules, 2026

1. Any non-member that wishes to fly at the Minot Aircraft Modelers field, run their R/C cars or trucks, or launch rockets, must have a current AMA card, pay a $3 daily guest fee, and have a member of MAM present. The MAM member escorting the non-member must ensure that the non-member reads and understands the MAM Safety Rules and the MAM Field Rules. Resident members of other North Dakota clubs are exempt from the daily fee and the field maintenance fee and may join as associates.

2. Group activities where guests are invited. There is a limit of 10 guests per host, and the host must ensure that another club member is present who will serve as a supervisor/safety officer for the event. This will ensure the event is always monitored for safety and security even while the host is flying or busy grilling, etc. Guests will not be permitted in the hangars unless accompanied by a member in small numbers. The host is responsible for their guests’ behavior. Guests should always remain civil and not use language that is offensive, i.e. profanity. Grilling is permitted only under the pavilion or on the patio by the concession stand. The host will complete and sign an application form indicating they will be responsible for the welfare and behavior of their guests.

3. Keep the gate open whenever a club member is on the field. The last club member to leave must turn out the lights, lock all buildings, secure the building key, and lock the gate upon departure.

4. The gate combo will only be available to all current MAM members.

5. Campers may use the restrooms and kitchen facilities. Quiet hours are between 10 pm and 8 am. There are no established fees for camping, however, a donation to cover costs of utilities will be appreciated.

6. If you use the grill, please clean it after use and ensure it is turned off and stored properly.

7. Pets shall be confined to the spectator areas and owners are responsible for pet clean up.

8. The computer in the North Hangar is for MAM members only. Guests may use only the flight simulator and must have a club member assist with starting the computer and launching the RealFlight Simulator.

9. Temporary (short term) storage of models and associated flying equipment is allowed in the North Hangar only. Space is limited so members must keep this to a minimum. Members are asked to remove any such model(s) or item(s) that they are not going to use at club event(s) prior to such event(s).

Lithium Polymer (Li-Po) batteries and fuel are not stored in either hangar. The member must understand that MAM is NOT responsible for any damage to, or the loss, of any item(s) the member may leave inside the Hangar. Store at your own risk. The storage of any items used for anything other than R/C flying is not permitted! Long term storage of vehicles, trailers, etc. is prohibited.

10. The use of fireworks at the flying field is prohibited.

11. Entry road and parking area speed limit is 5 MPH.

12. New members joining after September 1 will have their MAM membership covered for remaining of the current year and the following year.
