AMA Jr. Camp is designed to be a hands-on introduction to model aviation for students, and that’s why the projects are designed to incorporate as many household materials as possible! However, there are a couple of projects where specialized equipment and parts are a great benefit. Make sure you have everything you need, or save yourself the trouble and have a Jr. Camp Flight Pack on hand! A Flight Pack is the perfect way to enjoy these on-demand trainings in whatever setting you choose.

Sir George Cayley, often called the Father of Aeronautics, designed a helicopter powered by a bow-string mechanism with feather blades (similar to the reproduction shown here). Later, he experimented by flying a model with multiple adjustable surfaces, allowing him to understand how every change affected the model’s flight. This model is a ½ scale replica of his original 1804 model. Cayley used the data from these experiments to publish his On Aerial Navigation in 1809.
