Does your club want to introduce model aviation to its youth, newcomers, friends and neighbors? If you answered "yes," you will want to learn more about the AMA's TAG grant program.
The Academy of Model Aeronautics charters clubs throughout the United States. Many of these clubs have posted videos of their members and flying sites . Take a look!
Herb W. Ziegler III, a secondary-level physics teacher at Pocono Mountain West High School, describes the process of a project that he administered with his Spring Semester 2013 2nd period Honors Physics class. This project involved the 23 students in the class designing and constructing a plane so that it would have the ability to successfully drop 400 plastic eggs at once.
This group project uses model aviation as a tool to inspire creativity and demonstrate the processes by which ideas become reality. It teaches the fundamentals of aerodynamics, aircraft design, construction and basic RC power/control systems. You will need the assistance of someone who is familiar with building model aircraft.
