Who this list is for
This checklist is meant for model aircraft hobbyists heading to a club flying session at an approved site. If you need to bring your own gear and meet club or FAA requirements, this list will help you pack efficiently and avoid missing essentials. It’s especially useful for flyers who travel with their equipment and want to be prepared for a safe, rule-abiding outing.
How to use this list
Lay out your gear before you pack. Start with the model aircraft and transmitter, then add charged flight batteries and your charger. Place batteries in approved storage bags for transport. Pack spare propellers and approved repair tools in your model transport case. Double-check your club membership card, required registration documents, and a copy of site rules. Check the weather before you leave, and make sure everything fits securely in your transport case.
What to skip
Don’t bring unapproved tools or batteries that aren’t in storage bags—these can violate club or site rules. Leave behind extra models or gear you don’t plan to use; too much equipment can clutter your setup area and distract you. Skip bringing food or unrelated items that could spill or damage your electronics.
