Welcome to BAM

The Bend Aero Modelers ("BAM") is a non-profit organization, 501(c)(7), with the mission to promote model aviation and the joy of radio controlled (R/C) flying. We are affiliated with the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) and as such are an AMA-chartered club (AMA charter # 2311).

Our club includes diverse members with different backgrounds, ages, and interests. We welcome all model aviation enthusiasts, regardless of your experience level and specific areas of interest within this fascinating hobby. Furthermore, we support all compliant types and sizes of R/C airplanes, including helicopters and jets.
