The Academy of Model Aeronautics seeks to provide hobby-shop owners with a fast and convenient way to sign up model-airplane enthusiasts as AMA members, right from the hobby shop! 

• The program is designed to reward hobby-shop owners with $5.00 for each new adult and $4.00 for a senior member, $3.00 for each Introductory Membership (three-month trial) and $3.00 for each new Park Pilot Program member.
• While family and youth memberships are available through this hobby shop program, no commissions will be paid for them at this time.
• AMA will provide, at no cost to hobby shops, materials including applications, handouts, brochures, counter display etc., which will be used exclusively for this program.
• Care must be given in (helping the prospective AMA member) understand the models limitations of that can be flown under the AMA Park Pilot Program membership category. See Park Flyer definition as outlined on the next page. If the prospective member wishes to fly models outside of the limitations then he or she must join under the AMA “Open” membership. Current AMA members who wish to receive the new AMA Park Pilot magazine can do so for an additional $9.95 by contacting the membership department at 800-435-9262 (800 I FLY AMA).
• Every 90 days, the AMA will pay the hobby-shop owner according to the commission schedule for every new member signed up. A new member is defined as anyone who has NOT been an active member of the Academy of Model Aeronautics in the past 5 years.
• Although no commission will be paid for AMA renewals, a store may submit the application for a renewing member.
