Common questions
FAQ
Quick answers to what pilots ask most. Questions about a specific event are best answered by the club running it.
Accounts
Do I need an account to look at events?
No. Anyone can browse events, event pages, sponsors, and news. You need a free account to register or sponsor.
Do I pick pilot, sponsor, or organizer?
You pick one at signup, but it doesn't lock you in. Your account page has cards for joining a club, running events as an Event CD, and setting up a sponsor profile — use any of them from the same account.
I forgot my password.
On the sign-in page, tap Forgot your password? and enter your email. Open the link we send and choose a new password.
My AMA number has letters or a dash.
That's fine. Letters, numbers, and dashes all work — e.g. C-12345 or a vanity number like REKIT. The AMA # is optional.
Registering & paying
Do I have to pay online?
No. Tap Reserve my spotand you're on the roster. Pay the club at the field — cash, Venmo, PayPal, or check, whatever they take. The organizer marks you paid.
I didn't get a confirmation email.
The site doesn't send one. Your confirmation code is on the screen after you register and on My registrations, along with the amount due.
How do I contact the organizer?
Once you've registered, open My registrations. Each registration has an email link to the organizer when the host club has listed an email address.
What do 'Registered' and 'Paid' mean on an event?
Registered counts everyone signed up, paid or not. Paid is the ones the organizer has already marked paid.
Why did the price change?
Some events raise the price on a set date. The event page shows when. You pay the price on the day you register, so early is cheaper.
I cancelled by accident. Can I undo it?
Yes, within 24 hours. On My registrations, tap Restoreon the cancelled registration. It comes back with your helis, add-ons, and signature, at today's entry price — unless the event has closed or filled up since.
What about refunds?
You paid the club, so refunds come from the club. The event page's At-a-glance box shows their refund window. You can cancel an unpaid registration yourself; for a paid one, contact the organizer.
AMA Form 10
Where does my waiver signature go?
Onto the event's AMA Form 10. Once the organizer marks you paid, your name, AMA #, age class, aircraft boxes, and signature are filled in automatically.
Why are turbine and over 55 lbs separate boxes?
Each adds a page to the Form 10. Turbine pilots are listed with their turbine waiver number; over-55-lb pilots with their LMA permit number. The form asks for the number when you tick the box.
Sponsors
How do Gold, Silver, and Bronze work?
By position, not a dollar threshold. The biggest contribution on an event is Gold, second is Silver, third is Bronze. Product counts at its value, same as cash.
My company is already listed under Sponsors. How do I take it over?
Find it in the Sponsors directory and tap Claim brand (free account needed). Once an admin approves it, the profile — and anything already credited to it — is yours. More in the Sponsor guide.
The site
Is this only for helicopter events?
Yes — RC helicopter events only.
What happens to an event page after the event?
It stays up, marked Archived, with its sponsors and Models Flying chart.
I want to run an event.
See the Organizer guide.
On your phone
Can I install it like an app?
Yes, no App Store needed. iPhone: in Safari, tap Share → Add to Home Screen. Android: in Chrome, tap Install on the prompt, or ⋮ menu → Install app.
Does it work offline?
Partly. Account pages (like My registrations) and the flying-fields directory stay readable if you've opened them before losing signal. Event pages and registering need a connection.
How do I get notifications?
Sign in, open your account, and tap Enableon the notifications card. On iPhone, add the app to your home screen first. You're notified when the organizer marks you paid, when a registration of yours or an event you're in is cancelled, and the day before an event you've paid for.
