Lafayette Escadrille R/C Club was
founded in 1989 by a small group of flyers within
another club who wanted to preserve the spirit of Sport and Giant Scale flying.
Originally
the club was the Giant Scale chapter of Acadiana R/C Club and was chartered
through
the IMAA. These pure hearted individuals broke away from the parent club and
chartered
Lafayette Escadrille with the AMA and dedicated the club to the pursuit of
enjoyment of
R/C flying, not competition.
Just as it's WW 1 name sake squadron
fought to keep the world free of oppression,
Lafayette Escadrille puts forth all efforts to maintain a site where all can
enjoy R/C flying
of any kind. The only restrictions the club places on flyers are those of the
AMA's Safety
Regulations and common sense and courtesy.
Over the years Lafayette Escadrille has
held "any size fly-ins", but usually just exist as a
site for the enjoyment of flying and camaraderie. The club prides itself on
maintaining an
attitude that welcomes spectators, interested newcomers and fellow flyers
anytime a club
member is on site. All we request of fellow flyers is AMA membership. We are
always
willing to provide information and assistance to newcomers with no commitment on
their
part.
