MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
A Changing of The Guard:
2020 has been some kind of year, the kind you don’t want to repeat! I hope you are all doing well or at the very least, hanging in there.
As you know, every two years the NWSAM Director and Vice Director positions are open for re-election. Nominations and voting are held at the Area Coordinator level. 2020 was that year. There was one nominee for each position, so those members were elected by acclamation.

Tom Strom Jr. remains NWSAM Director. Tom Rainwater has accepted the position of NWSAM Vice Director, he brings some new ideas and a fresh perspective to the position.
​
I have been in one NWSAM leadership role or another since the club’s inception. Most recently for the last four years I have enjoyed being Vice Director. I look forward to supporting the two Toms as they move the club forward. I know that you will all do the same.  
Cheers, Mike Ingram

Our Mission
The NWSAM exist to promote and provide support, resources/information for radio controlled scale aero-modellers, judges and event organizers for their success at any Local, National or World Scale Aero-Modelling event.

        " The forum is about Learning, Fun and Sportsmanship while providing the opportunity to advance to competition."

Scale Aero-Modeling events provide a great "social venue" to meet people who share the common interest of building and flying scale airplanes. This is the biggest benefit you will receive when participating with enthusiasts at Scale Events nationally and internationally. Participating in scale events creates more purpose for improving your building and flying skills. Participation is easy as the program is graduated; designed to progress from 'Beginner to Expert levels'. Almost Ready to Fly airplanes (ARF's) & Almost Ready to Cover (ARC) are encouraged.
