Welcome to Youth Masters

Inviting all youth 16 yrs and younger! Please mark your calendars! Youth Masters at Triple Tree Aerodrome! Triple Tree Aerodrome “The Triple Tree Aeromodelers” have been hosting the Youth Masters for many years. We camp on site the entire weekend. Triple Tree is equipped with full service restrooms and all the other amenities one would need. All we ask is that the pilots are members of AMA and able to take off and land proficiently. We will provide the airplanes, support equipment, someone to assist in takeoffs and landings, lunch Saturday and Sunday, professional instruction and all the fun one person can stand in one weekend.

2012 we had the largest class ever, with over 30 Pilots.  We ended up running two flight lines , one for the Basic group and the other for the Advanced group.  I must say , that with the amount of pilots we had, that everyone was best of friends with everyone by the end of the weekend.  We had perfect weather for the flying both days.  The nights were just perfect for everyone that decided to sleep under the gazebo. The flying was nothing short of Amazing from all the pilots, with the points spread being very close from the beginning to the end. Notice I didn't say from first to last.  Here at Triple Tree there is no such thing as " last ", as everyone that comes to the Youth Masters gets " IT ". We are getting a great turnout of spectators and support.  People that come to the YM purely just for support and to help in any way they can. We Love this. On Saturday night after all the " competitive " flying was done for the day we headed to the Hartness Beach, and played in the river till we were water logged. After that everyone busted out their foamies and all the Pilots really became Best of Friends .  " here fly my foamies ", and " try this ". I personally never laughed so hard, and enjoyed an evening so much.  It was just perfect.  The Pilots came from all over North, South, and West coast , but if you were outside looking in, it looked like a family reunion. We look forward to Youth Masters growing every year. But for those that have never made it because they were  nervous or afraid that their son/daughter were to young. No such thing.  We have had pilots as Young as 5  here flying , and have never lost a plane to a pilot error.  If you are a parent with any questions feel free to ask us.  We would Love to have you.  As for all of our support people we cannot say thank You enough and of course , if it were not for Mr. Pat Hartness and the whole Triple Tree Gang we wouldn't even be here.  We Thank You for showing us what Fun, Fellowship, and Hospitality really means.
