Club Membership Application

Existing Club Members

If you are an existing club Member, please sign in before renewing your membership as there may be different membership rates/types for new vs. renewing members. If you forgot your username or password, click here.

A new member must prove he or she can fly one type of RC aircraft safely. Prior to exhibiting this skill, a No Solo Card will be issued to the new member. No Solo Card holders have all the club privileges of a Solo Card holder, but cannot fly alone. When flying, a No Solo Card holder must be accompanied by a Flight Instructor or a BCF Solo Card holder. A No Solo Card holder, when ready to be tested, must make an appointment with one of the Club’s instructors. When safe flying skills have been validated, the instructor will notify the club secretary to mail a regular membership card to the new member.

Procedures and Fees to obtain membership in the Bay City Flyers RC Club (BCF) follow below.

Any individual interested in joining this organization must be a member of the Academy of Model Aeronautics. This organization is referred to as AMA, and provides liability insurance, along with other benefits. Links to obtain or renew membership in both AMA and BCF can be found below. First obtain the AMA membership, as you cannot join/renew BCF or fly until you have proof of AMA membership throughout the entire year of planned BCF membership.

For the AMA membership, use this link: Membership Enrollment Center | Academy of Model Aeronautics (modelaircraft.org)
