Welcome to Chattanooga RC Club


Logo for the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) with the slogan 'Your Passion. Hobby. One Community.'

"We’re committed to building community and lasting relationships by sharing the fun and excitement of Radio Control”

Join us for a variety of activities and events designed to engage both seasoned pilots and newcomers alike. Whether your passion lies in flying turbine jets, nitro, electric, EDF, FPV, or helicopters, you’ll discover a welcoming space to enhance your skills and connect with others who share your enthusiasm.

So come check us out! On any given weekend, you will find our members enjoying the love of our hobby at Summit Field in Ooltewah TN. We foster a passion for RC through sharing ideas, learning from experienced members, or enjoying friendly competitions and events. We offer a free introductory lesson for first-time flyers, and a complete “Learn to Fly” program that includes trainer aircraft and instructor free of charge to club members.

We believe that an important part of building community is building our next generation of pilots. To that end we offer free lessons and are happy to partner with our education system to support learning and field day events.
