The Albuquerque Soaring Association wants to help newcomers succeed. The growth, and the very existence of the club depends on "new blood" coming into the hobby.
Beginners can contact any of the instructors below for help with construction problems, trimming, adjustment, radio installation, and those critical first trim flights. Of course, the instructors can provide flight instruction.
We also meet monthly. For meeting details click here...
Start flying by contacting one of the ASA members listed below and Join the ASA!
