Membership is limited to men and women who are Robson Ranch, AZ, residents. Membership in the Academy of Modeling Aeronautics (AMA) is required. Proof of AMA membership is requiredin order to join the RC Club.
Membership dues are $60 annually for individuals. Dues are prorated, however anyone joining after Sept 15 will be entitled to membership for the rest of the current year and the following year.
The RC Park facility is located at the north side of the Robson Ranch community and is for the exclusive use of club members. Guests of club members must be accompanied by the member at all times. Members in good standing are provided gate codes to the locked access points. The facility is available for use 7 days a week.
To be a club member, you must have a current Academy of Modeling Aeronautics (AMA) membership. This means to fly or drive at our RC Park, you must have an AMA membership. Driving on the tracks includes any race or practice activities or driving with the Grandkids when the tracks are not in use. Also includes drag race activities. Basically, AMA membershipis required for any Radio Control modeling activity.
The reason for our club becoming an AMA club is to obtain Site Insurance in addition to your own liability insurance. This is a new requirement from Robson Corporate that gives us continued use of Robson property.
The instructions for joining the Academy of Modeling Aeronautics are listed below.
How to:
1) Login to AMA’s website (www.modelaircraft.org)
2) Choose the option to Join/Renew and scroll down to select either Full Adult membership or
Park Pilot membership and fill out your personal info. Drivers can use the Park Pilot level.
3) After payment, you will receive a Credit Card transaction confirmation and a membership confirmation by email. Please forward your Membership confirmation to the Club (robsonranchrc@gmail.com).
Thanks and sorry for any confusion. If you have questions, you can contact me directly.

The club meets the third Wednesay of every month in the Robson Ranch Sports Club. Board members are elected annually and any member may run for a position on the Board.
At the Feb 16, 2021 general membership meeting a resolution was approved by the membership condemning the practices of a Nextdoor Group Administrator who wrongfully presents his page as representing Robson Ranch RC Club:
Alan Friedman is the president of the Casa Grande Flyers – an RC Club that is open to anyone who becomes a member of the AMA. His club operates an airstrip and race track. Friedman started a Group on Nextdoor called “Robson Ranch RC Club Posts” which he claims is a group for anyone interested in RC modelling at Robson Ranch. He claims it will have posts from the Robson Ranch RC Club. In fact, the Robson Ranch RC Club Posts group does not represent the Robson Ranch RC Club in any manner. The use of our club name in his group is deceptive, misleading and dishonest. All posts to this group that purport to be from our club are in reality taken from the Robson Ranch RC Club website and pasted to this Group. Most posts are merely promoting the Casa Grande Flyers. Therefore be it resolved that the membership of Robson Ranch RC Club, Inc. condemns Alan Friedman’s deceptive, misleading and dishonest practices concerning Robson Ranch RC Posts.
The Robson Ranch RC Club, Inc. has no issue with the Casa Grande Flyers, just with the "Robson Ranch RC Club Posts" group on Nextdoor.
Note that Alan Friedman has renamed the group, removing the word "Posts" from the title. He now calls this Nextdoor Group "Robson Ranch RC Club" despite it having nothing at all to do with the Robson Ranch RC Club.
