Welcome

We are the Denver-area chapter of the International Aerobatic Club, a division of the Experimental Aircraft Association. Our members come from all along the Front Range from Ft. Collins to Colorado Springs, as well as from neighboring states. RMAC's goal is safety above all else. We share a love of aerobatic flying, whether for personal enjoyment, the precise demands of competition, or working on the sidelines as judges and support personnel at contests. Our activities fall into three main categories:

  • Competition
  • Recreational flying, including critique and practice days
  • Group meetings and social events

Long-time IAC12 member Glen Marshman recently finished building a souped-up Rans S-9 Chaos, for use in aerobatic competition.  A detailed story about the project appears in EAA Experimenter magazine: http://www.eaa.org/experimenter/articles/2011-04_rans.asp

Congrats, Glen!  Can't wait to see your bird in action!

Is there somebody in your Chapter who is the "go to" person when something needs to be done?  Do you know a judge who is the first person you call and ask to serve as a Chief Judge before you make any other Contest plans?  When you make a mistake in one of your flights and hope you don't get caught, is there one judge who you KNOW would have caught it if he/she had been on the line?  Is there a person in your club who promotes our sport and mentors new members better than anyone else you've seen?  Do you know a builder, designer, or innovator in aircraft design who outshines the rest?


If you answered yes to any of these questions, then please read on...

FUNDRAISING FOR AMANDA AND KYLE

Submitted by webmaster on

During the Thunder in the Valley Air Show last weekend in Columbus, Georgia, announcer Hugh Oldham and air boss George Cline used the sponsor appreciation dinner as an opportunity to solicit contributions to the Kyle and Amanda Fund recently established by the ICAS Foundation. The duo’s pitch was low key and had received the approval of air show management.

“It was a pass-the-hat-type of appeal. We explained the challenges that Amanda and Kyle would be facing and asked the folks present at the dinner to contribute what they could,” said Oldham. In the end, the solicitation generated $2,400, every penny of which will go directly to the Franklins to defray some of the medical and logistical expenses they will incur as they both continue to recover from their accident two weeks ago in Brownsville, Texas.

If you missed it, NBC’s Today Show aired a story about Kyle and Amanda on Monday.

And, of course, if you would like to make a donation yourself to the Kyle and Amanda Fund, just click here, then click on “Donate Now” and follow the prompts.
