The 3M Club RC Flyers

Welcome to the 3M Club RC Flyers web site! 

We're a private radio-controlled aircraft club for 3M employees and their guests. 

General membership meetings are held at 7 p.m. on the 3rd Monday of each month.   The September to April general membership meetings are held in the 3M Center, Bldg. 222 cafeteria. The May to August general membership meetings are held at the flying field.

Our meetings include technical presentations, demonstrations, tips from modelers and topic-related product displays from local area hobby shops. The club has some of the finest R/C pilots in the area who volunteer to serve as instructors. The 3M Club R/C Flyers offer free instruction with membership.

The Club members participate in numerous activities during the year. There are flying events including, the annual chili fly, student demonstrations at local schools, air shows, an annual static display held at 3M and the annual cleanup day at the field.

There is also the Wednesday morning breakfast meeting. Club members (mostly retired) get together and have breakfast and then sprint to the field for a morning of flying and socializing.  
 

Upcoming Club and Area Events

 

2010 Membership

The 2010 Membership Form is now available.  Please open the attachment below for the form.  

New This Year: The $10 Field Fund surcharge added to last year’s fee has been revoked.

It’s that time of year again. Membership renewal will be the same this year as it was last year. All renewal applications including a copy of your AMA membership plus a check for dues are due on or before December 1, 2009 (this includes lifetime members). Completed applications must be mailed to the address listed on the bottom of the application blank. Incomplete applications will be returned to the applicant for correction. If you don’t receive your membership card within three weeks you should call or email me to determine the status of your application.

On January 1, 2010, your 2009 membership is expired and you will not be allowed to fly.  The newsletter will be emailed to all members listing an email address. A box has been provided on the application to indicate if you want the newsletter mailed in hardcopy form. Place an ‘X’ in the box and you will receive the newsletter by regular USPS mail.

Guest members – If your renewal is late (after December 31, 2009), you will be placed on the guest waiting list in the order that your applications are received until it is determined whether or not there will be enough guest openings. All guest members will be reviewed at a board meeting prior to December 31, 2009 for renewal status.

Associate members – The rules of the 3M Club of St. Paul require the spouse or a parent of the associate member to also be a member of the club. We have a membership category for this purpose if they do not want to fly. The classification is ‘Associate Sponsor’. This membership will have no annual dues and they will not receive a membership card or the newsletter. If they do want to fly, they will have to sign up for two categories and pay the dues accordingly. You should receive two applications with your newsletter. One for you to fill out and one for your ‘sponsor’ to fill out.
