WRCC Field Rules
Like all clubs, the WRCC does have Rules. Developed to ensure safety and avoid loss of AMA insurance coverage in the event of an accident, the rules also remind us to have some basic common sense as we enjoy the sport of flying Radio Controlled Models. Here are those rules accepted by the membership of the WRCC:
At all times the AMA Safety Code is to be adhered to.
- No fires allowed.
- No alcoholic beverages or illegal drugs allowed.
- Smoking in designated area only.
- AMA Membership mandatory for all pilots not under the tutelage of an instructor pilot.
- All radio equipment must be 1991 Gold Sticker approved.
- During events, all transmitters must remain in the Impound Area when not in use. At all times, use of the frequency board is mandatory.
- Be sure to check the Frequency Board to see if your channel is clear before you turn on your transmitter.
- Place your AMA-WRCC card only in the appropriate position on the frequency board:
- All new, repaired, or altered aircraft will be Range Checked and undergo a Safety Inspection prior to flight.
- Point aircraft toward runway when performing adjustments.
- Use the designated area for engine break-in and extensive adjustments and safety inspections.
- Mufflers are required on all engines. Noise levels will be per AMA regulationss.

- No flying over pit area or spectator area.
- Engine to be shut down on the runway or startup area. No taxiing into the pit area.
