The growing world of first-person view model aviation - 2012/08

First-person
view (FPV) flight
involves flying a
radio-controlled
aircraft while
viewing the flight
through a set of
goggles or with
a monitor that
simulates the
pilot’s view, as if he or she were
sitting in the cockpit. It’s hard to
describe FPV modeling as a new
technology, but in relation to a
number of other modeling disciplines,
it is still considered by many to be in
its infancy.

President's Perspective - 2010/11
As many already know, Jim Cherry
left AMA at the end of August. We
wish him well as he rejoins his
wife, Lynn, in Panama City, Florida.
Jim was hired in 2006 and served as our
Executive Director (ED). During his tenure he
brought innovation to the Academy. His
League of Cities program has introduced
hundreds, if not thousands, of community
officials to model aviation.

Jersey was the location of this year’s first
event hosted by the Mercer County Radio
Control Society (MCRCS) and the
Washington’s Crossing RC Flyers
Association.
