Club Information

Message from the Webmaster
Welcome to the web site for Columbia Gorge Aeromodelers.  We are a small, but dedicated and friendly, group of R/C airplane enthusiasts located in the mid-Columbia Gorge area.  We welcome anyone interested in this hobby - from beginners to advanced flyers.  Although a casual lot, we strive to help everyone improve their building and flying skills.  But most importantly, we like to HAVE FUN!  If there's any way we can help you get into this very enjoyable hobby, or grow your skills, please contact us at the numbers listed below.
