About Us
Join us to experience the thrill of RC flight!
Whether you are a seasoned RC pilot or have never flown before we invite you to consider joining our club. Young, or not so young, the RC hobby is a great way to expand your “horizons”. And for those younger, it can serve as a great STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) experience too!
Traverse Area Model Pilots Society
Flying is our passion. Sharing it with others is too!
TRAMPS is a family oriented club and boasts over 70 members annually. Our Pilots/Members range in age from 10 to over 80. In addition to open flying on a regular basis we also have an annual Airshow and other organized club events.
T.R.A.M.P.S. is an AMA Gold level leader club!
In order to recognize the leadership of the best model clubs, the Academy has established the AMA Leader Club Awards. These awards can be earned by any AMA chartered club, by meeting certain standards of community service and activity. There are three levels of AMA Leader Clubs: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Once a club meets the minimum criteria, it qualifies for different levels based on performance.
AMA has established 6 goals (one goal can be waived) and nine electives to obtain Leader Club status. The ultimate recognition, the Gold level, requires that all goals be met and documented.
