The New Hampshire Flying Tigers R/C Club, Inc.

     The New Hampshire Flying Tigers is a radio control model aircraft flying club. We pride ourselves as a club dedicated to helping out newcomers by answering all your questions, helping you to learn to fly safely, and guiding you along your way to becoming a good pilot.

     Did you know that radio control flying is a fun activity that family members can share together? Instead of simply watching your children from the sidelines, why not try getting involved in RC aviation were you can honestly interact with your children? We have many father/son, mother/son, father/daughter, grandfather/grandson and uncle/nephew teams in our membership. Join in the fun and be involved with your family.

     This could be more than just a wonderful activity to share with your children. Here is what noted aviation engineering pioneer Burt Rutan had to say about his personal view of model aviation when he received an award in January (as published in the August 2006 issue of Model Aviation):

"I can personally attest that the exposure to model-aviation activities is a strong driver to encourage young people to consider science and engineering as they later make their career choices.

"I am often asked to give my motivational talks and my favorite subject is 'inspiration for innovation'. This deals with the premise that our top science leaders stand out because of what they see as 4- to 14-year-old children.

"For me, the exposure to model airplane flying and model competition was critical. Then (in the 1950s) there were few hurdles in setting up a flying field --- environmental issues were few and the opportunities were limitless. Today we see numerous fields for sports like baseball, football and basketball, but few for model-aircraft flying. This is wrong, since there will always be more opportunities for future jobs in aviation, engineering, and science than careers in sports. A few sports heroes make a lot of money, but they are not the ones who will change our lives for the better.

"An investment in providing model clubs, competitions and flying fields will pay big dividends in inspiring our future leaders. I strongly endorse your efforts to expand and promote those opportunities."

     If you are a beginner to this hobby you probably have many questions you need answered. We have an excellent and well established Flight Training Program with club certified instructors allowing you to learn to fly with fewer mishaps. This will keep your flying costs down, minimize your frustration and make the whole experience much more enjoyable.

     If you are an experienced pilot, we offer you a choice of two great flying sites with one of the finest maintained grass runways in the New England area. Our members are friendly, helpful and fun! Our members have varied interests from fixed wing to helicopters, scale (both large and small), sport, combat, gliders, pattern, and battery powered.
