What we are about

• The MMM Free Flight Club is ALWAYS looking for those interested model airplane flyers that want a different challenge or just want to recreate those fun modeling experiences other than RC or Control Line.  Free Flight is the original form of flying model aircraft and a step into making airplanes fly by themselves with no control.  Learning this valuable technology is a wonderful experience.
• We also support Educational Programs like STEM, TSA and S/O.
• We are affiliated with the National Free flight Society (NFFS) at freeflight.org and the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) at modelaircraft.org

 The MMM Club at the field

Now, some of the frequently asked  questions about Free flight and what one can do to be part of it?

• How does one join? What are the dues? ( MMM dues to the club primarily defray the field lease cost for a place to fly.) Joining the MMM Club is easy.  Dues are described in the linknoted at the top and for younger flyers, is waived. .
• The Club Flying Field The MMM Club is fortunate to have one of the finest Free Flight Fields available.  It is leased from the Colorado State Land Board and hence their is responsibility involved.  The field is located east of E470 on Quincy Avenue in Aurora Colorado.  Details on accessing the field are available from the club contacts listed above in “Gate Lock Procedures,” however, the ability to fly on the field is subject to State Land Board and MMM Club Restrictions.
• Field Use and Access Current club members (AMA membership is required for membership) have 24/7 access to the field.  Non club members with a valid AMA membership are welcome to fly on the field during club sponsored events.
• Can I come out to the field and watch?  We encourage spectators to come out to the field during our flying events and watch the activity.  One must first notify the contest director or one of the club officers.  The contacts are listed above  in “Gate Lock Procedures.”
• I used to build models and I am just getting back into the hobby. What should I do to catch up with the current trends?  Will someone help me learn to fly a free flight model?  We are a club that encourages participation and are willing to provide what help is necessary to new and returning modelers who are showing an interest in Free Flight Modeling.
• My child flies S/O or TSA models. Where are some club activities so that we can join in?  The good news we mentor many S/O and TSA young flyers.  The GREAT news is our kids usually take honors in the S/O and TSA programs.  Our mentors are World Class and National winners.
