Why join CPA?   If you have a love of classic pattern planes, the classic patterns before “turnaround” and the smell of nitro and the sound of piped engines winding up, we are the group for you!

The main goal of CPA is to have fun!  Competition is only a part of the CPA but the fellowship of getting together with others who are reliving the good old pattern days is the biggest draw of the CPA. 

The CPA has members thru out the United States and has increased the number of contest or get together from (1) one in the past years to over 8 events from coast to coast in 2011.

Do I need a membership to fly a CPA contest?  No... But as a paid member ($15.00 per year) you will have a voice and help make decisions in the group.  The fee helps with various administration cost.  You do not have to pay CPA fee’s to fly in any classes.
