CAPITAL AREA ANTIQUE MODELERS ASSOCIATION INFORMATION. The Capital Area Antique Modelers Association, CAAMA, was organized about ten years ago, both as an AMA Chartered Club and a Society of Antique Modelers (SAM) Chapter. Currently, there are about 70 members, many within the Washington DC. Capital Area (hence the club name). Our interests are broad and cover most of the range of model aviation interests, particularly Free Flight. We fly with the DC Maxecuters and the Brainbusters of the Newport News, VA area. We now have a Free Flight field near Culpeper, VA, courtesy of the Inskeep family.
"This is our newest means of sharing information, competition dates, photos and the joy of Old Time Model Airplanes with the World.
We hope you enjoy this site, and ask members to please submit all new info and pictures for future postings. "

Our Chapter of SAM, the SCAMPS, is one of the strongest free flight clubs in the country, with a membership of about 110. We have weekly fun-fly events at our Perris California flying site, every Wednesday morning. Our club is anchored by flying stalwart, Sal Taibi, who has been a major part of modeling since the 1930's, when he broke through with his famous Powerhouse design in 1938.
The Pensacola Free Flight Team is SAM17, as well as AMA Charter 203 and FAC Squadron #46. Our members represent a wide range of freeflight interests. We fly from one of the finest sites in the country, a one mile square of mowed grass courtesy of the U.S. Navy. Our 33 regular members come from as far as 300 miles to fly at our site, and another 55 associate members fly here whenever it is convenient.
Due to radio interference, RC flying is not available at our site. Our newsletter is less of a standard "newsy" newsletter and more of a journal of ideas from everywhere they can be found for the purpose of sharing ideas for building and flying free flight models. Check us out on our web site

Mike McIntyre resurrected the Chicago Buzzards club by forming SAM Chapter 117. It was natural that many of us electric fliers build old-timers with e-power. However, members have competed in SAM gas competition events.
SAM 1066 UK Dedicated To Vintage and Classic Model Aircraft. Free membership now available, sign up and receive our excellent newsletter via e-mail. See the website for details.
Who are we?...... SWOOT (South Western Ontario Old Timers) was established in 1992 to preserve the history and flying of model aircraft and engines, that were born and developed during the early days of aeromodelling. This period, generally speaking, began in the late twenties and early thirties and at that time the aircraft were flown in a "free flight" mode. This meant that the skill of the modeller and the knowledge of the theory of flight, played a very important role in the adjustment of the aircraft for safe flight. Our members continue to pursue these concepts through the flying of replicas that in some instances are powered by the original engines that were used in the early days of this hobby. Also flown are rubber powered aircraft of that era, as well as gliders; so there's lots of choices for everyone.
