| About RSM� Radio Signal Modelers Flying Club has had its �flight operations� at the Shiller Woods Flying Field since its inception in 1971. The club is currently the only organized AMA chartered flying club supporting the Shiller Woods Flying Field. As a result, RSM members are responsible for the field�s flight readiness. RSM mows the runway lawn weekly during the growing season and annually rolls the field to promote a smooth runway for all users of the Shiller Woods Flying Field. Field maintenance is the primary use of RSM�s annual dues and donations. |

| Attend a club meeting� While your attendance at club meetings is not required in order for you to maintain your membership in RSM, it is a good way of meeting with your fellow RC enthusiasts and learning more about RC airplanes through our discussions. The club meets on the first Monday of every month at the Elmwood Park Civic Center, 2 Conti Parkway (in the Circle), Elmwood Park, at 7 p.m. Meetings are held at the Shiller Park Flying Field, weather permitting, for the scheduled meetings in May, June, July and August. Learn to fly RC� Several experienced club members have agreed to act as club instructors to assist new club members in learning to fly RC airplanes for the first time. Joining the club as a beginner is the best way to learn proper flying techniques and help preserve your investment in your first plane. Or just make a donation� As the sole source of maintenance at the Shiller Woods Flying Field, all users of the field benefit from the hard work and devotion of the members of the RSM in maintaining the field. Users of the field can help ensure that the field receives all the attention it needs by making a donation to the club at the above address.
