Welcome to Kent Radio Aero Modelers (KRAM). We are an AMA District 7 Gold Leader Club with over 100 members of all ages, a great field with a fabric runway near Alto, MI and a love of all things aviation. All AMA pilots and the public are welcome to come and visit our field. Want to learn to fly an R/C airplane? KRAM has several instructors and planes ready and willing to help you!

Its club renewal time!

It's that time of year again to search under the couch cushions and renew your dues for the club and AMA. A reminder that your AMA dues are to be sent directly to AMA, as KRAM is no longer sending in renewals for club members.

I also want to encourage you to make sure your contact information is up-to-date. Of the 100+ members currently active, I only have about 80 active email addresses on our mailing list. If you haven't been getting club emails of the monthly minutes and other things, please send Nik and email with your name, old email address and new email address so we can update the list. And, if you've moved or changed phone numbers this year, please contact Dan McLaren to make sure we have that updated info. Thanks!

Next Event - New Years Day Chill-n-Fly

KRAM will welcome in the new year once again with an unofficial event. All pilots welcome to come out and brave the snow & weather to fly in the new year. Bring your planes w/floats or skis, bring your gloves, and bring some firewood!
