Come Fly With Us Today

RAMS RC Airplane Club

RAMS - Operating for Public Benefit, the Milwaukee County RC Model Airplane FieldThe Rainbow Aero Modelers Society (RAMS) was founded in 1980 at the newly opened Milwaukee County R/C Model Airplane Field, on Oakwood Road in Franklin, Wisconsin. The Society operates the field on behalf of the County, selling licenses to fly there, and adopting rules of safety, conduct, and courtesy. It uses the license fees to maintain the field.

The RAMS focus on fixed wing aircraft, offering free instruction, whether powered by glow or gas fuel engines, electric motors, or turbines that run on jet fuel. A sister club at the same field, SWARM - SE Wisconsin Area Rotory Modelers, fly R/C helicopters, and also offer free instruction.

Both clubs offer regular monthly meetings, and publish a monthly newsletter. Each belongs to the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA), a national model aircraft organization in Muncie, Indiana. AMA Pilot membership provides liability insurance and a comprehensive monthly magazine. The RAMS are AMA club #1264, and also belong to the Milwaukee R/C Association.

M.I.A. plane…

We have a new member who had his airplane removed from a tree on the northwest side of the parking lot. He tried to lodge it loose with a rope that still dangles from the tree, but was unsuccessful. When he went back the next day to try again, he had mixed emotions. Happy that it was finally out of the tree, but upset that he did not have it.

The airplane is a Hangar 9 Alpha 40. The color scheme is orange, black, and white. The fuselage seemed to be in fine shape, and 1/2 of the wing assembly was left behind. The other 1/2 was already recovered.

If you know anything about the recovery of this plane, please contact one of the club officers.
