President’s Message:
As we enter the halfway mark of our 2025 year, I would like to thank Charles Lewis for his 18 months of unwavering leadership. In the years that I worked with Charles as the Co-Chief Flight Instructor in the Palomar RC Flyers’ training program and as his Vice President, I saw Charles conduct himself as a true professional and leader, choosing the path he felt was in the best interest of the club. Charles, we will miss having you as our President; but we look forward to seeing you in your new role as President Emeritus.
Don Davis Interim President, Palomar RC Flyers

FAA Renewal
For those of you who are coming up on their FAA Registration renewal process, the FAA changed things slightly back in 2022 and now want an aircraft of some sort attached to the registration.
The AMA created a great article for the process, and they walk through, step by step, how to sign up and renew your FAA Registration all in one, at: https://amablog.modelaircraft.org/amagov/2022/08/09/update-to-the-faa-dronezone-and-registration-renewal-process/
Make sure you read through the process completely BEFORE you start, as you may need to skip certain steps if you are RENEWING your registration!!!
