About Our Club
The Mineral Area Modeling Association (MAMA) AMA Charter #1581 began in 1973 in the back of a hobby store in Bonne Terre MO. The club was flying at the Bismarck Airport in Bismarck MO. In 1976, the St. Joe Minerals Corp. donated land to the Sate of Missouri to build a ORV recreational park located between Park Hills and Farmington MO. Linus Boehle ,who was the owner of the shop, had the idea to petition the State to include a R/C flying field at the newly acquired park property. Letters were written to Senators and Representatives lobbing for a R/C flying field. The work paid off and a section of land was set aside and labeled R/C Flying Field.
The flying Field is located off Loughbroro Road at the South end of the Park. The continued existence of the flying field is only possible through a cooperative effort between the Park management and the Mineral Area Modeling Assoc.
Mineral Area Modeling Assoc. provides site owner protection insurance through the insurance program at the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA).
The Mineral Area Modeling Assoc. (MAMA) is responsible for establishing and enforcing safety rules tailored to the flying site and also following the guide lines set by the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA)
Mineral Area Modeling Assoc. is responsible for mowing the runway, taxiway and pit area of the flying site.
Mineral Area Modeling Assoc. is also responsible for the general upkeep of the flying field.
The Park mows the larger portion of the flying field and maintains the buildings and grounds.
