We have 2 high-power fields in North Texas with FAA waivers.

Akroville: About an hour northwest of Dallas, the Akroville field has a 7,000’ waiver, with call-ins to 9,000’. Research motors are limited to 6,000’ and 8,000’, respectively. Motors up to M impulse are allowed. We are extremely fortunate to have a field so close to the Metroplex that allows both high power and research motor flights under TRA rules. 

Seymour: About two hours northwest of Dallas, our field near Seymour, Texas has a 16,000’ waiver for commercial motors, and 14,500’ for research. This field can support motors up to the TRA limit (with prior approval). 

Launch fees vary by membership type and location. See the launch calendar for more info.
