Education Program for American Modelers Academy (AMA) & Civil Air Patrol (CAP) US Air Force Auxilary

Lt. Col. Randall Carlson is from the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) California Wing and retired from the U.S. Air Force.

I am warmed by feedback on the Squirrel since model aviation has always been very dear to my heart.

“I refer everyone to the Squirrel as an outstanding entry level aeromodel to build and fly.” — Randall Carlson

Randall Carlson (right) is an aviation expert (retired USAF) and adviser to the MARC education program (Model Aircraft and Remote Control Flying). This is a joint effort between CAP (Civil Air Patrol,  United States Air Force Auxiliary) Cadet Program) and AMA (American Modelers Academy).

The Squirrel is now part of the AMA and Air Cadet programs in USA.

I look forward to supporting youth and mentors making Squirrels and other simple planes!
