Club Bio
North Texas Aeromodelers fly at a field located at a
North Lakes Park in Denton, Texas. The park is owned by the City of
Denton but the field and improvements at the field are provided and
maintained by the Club.

We have a monthly meeting on the third Tuesday of each month at the
Denton Recreation Center located to the West of the field at times specified in
the monthly Newsletter. Everyone is encouraged to attend even if you're
not a current member.
We generally fly every weekend weather permitting, although you will
find members flying at the field during the week as well. Club member
skill levels range from beginner to advanced with flying styles that
include scale, aerobatics and 3D. We also have helicopter pilots; we
even have a special area set aside for them if they choose to avoid the
airplanes.
Aspiring RC pilots are welcome even if they don't have a plane. If
arranged in advance, we can have a club trainer airplane available for
you to take an introductory flight with an instructor. Once you've
purchased your plane, we can provide help setting it up and help you
make sure it's safe to fly. We have 3 primary instructors, all of whom
are very experienced at getting new flyers in the air.
Experienced pilots and visitors are equally welcome. We have some basic
field rules which are oriented toward safety, common sense and being
courteous to your fellow flyers. These include but not limited too:
- No engines are to be started or run behind the safety fence.
There are eight plane stands that are a shared resource for
everyone to use for starting and running up engines.
- Glow and Gas engine flight hours start at 9AM on
Saturdays/Sundays, 8AM the rest if the week.
- Flight boundaries include the power lines to the North, the
trees to the West, the dam to the South, and the flight line
(denoted by the 4 pilot stations at the edge of the runway).
- A maximum of four aircraft are allowed in the air at any
given time.
- Pilots should respect their fellow flyers. There's enough
airspace available such that everyone can have their own area
away from others flying.
- Frequencies you intend to use must be posted on the
frequency board with your ID. If someone already has the
frequency in use, you must arrange with that person to share it
before turning on your radio.
Come on down to the field and join us, we'd like to get to know
you!
