Beginner Outdoor Free Flight Education

NYAA is proud to provide a low-cost, beginner hands-on STEM program for youth (ages 6-99) teaching the fundamentals of free flight in a fun, supportive environment.

Students will build simple model planes and learn the basics of flying outdoor models out on the field!

  • Catapult Launch Glider - Gliders powered by the energy of stretched elastic bands

  • Hand Launch Glider - Gliders launched into the air by hand

  • AMA Beta - Academy of Model Aeronautics educational free flight rubber powered plane

The focus of our program is to foster joy in learning about flight and spark interest in the world of aviation.

 

Opportunities for friendly competition and participation in the NYAA Cup season-long competition is also available for those who want to further challenge themselves.

Program costs are kept minimal to just cover the costs of plane materials.  

Visit our calendar for our NYAA Training days and join us out on the field!
