Club Overview:
The Portland Area Sailplane Society (PASS) is a chartered club of the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA). We are one of the most active R/C Sailplane clubs in the U.S. PASS holds a plethora of AMA sanctioned contest events per year. Our members enjoy every aspect of R/C soaring: Thermal Duration, Hand-Launch, Cross-Country, Fun-Flying, Slope Racing, Electric, F3J, Multitask, Aerobatics, and Scale. We enjoy the use of 3 thermal flying fields, and several excellent slope sites within a 2 hour drive of Portland Oregon.

Our meetings are 7:30pm-9:00pm the 2nd Tuesday of each month at Round Table Pizza in Portland Oregon (10070 SW Barbur Blvd, 503-245-2211).
