The Academy of Model Aeronautics is a nonprofit community of enthusiasts who come together to celebrate model aviation.
We are hobbyists who dream, design, build, and fly model aircraft of all sizes for fun and competition. We do this because we enjoy the company of fellow enthusiasts, we love flight, and we want to see participation in our hobby grow.
Our nationwide network of clubs supports this passion by providing flying fields, mutual learning, and a safe and fun environment for model aviation activities. Our organization advocates every day for the safe enjoyment of model aviation.
Our motto: Your Passion. Your Hobby. One Community.
We, the members of the Academy of Model Aeronautics, are the pathway to the future of modeling and are committed to making modeling the foremost sport/hobby in the world.
This vision is accomplished through:
Affiliation with its valued associates, the modeling industry and governments.

A commitment to leadership, quality, education and scientific/technical development.
A safe, secure, enjoyable modeling environment.
The Academy of Model Aeronautics is a world-class association of modelers organized for the purpose of promotion, development, education, advancement, and safeguarding of modeling activities.
