About Flying
Radio Controlled Aircraft modeling involves many skills and disciplines. This hobby will help you to develop skills in aerodynamics, electronics, mechanics, drafting woodworking, and working with composite materials. Joining our club will introduce you to members that have been modeling and flying for over 30 years and are very competent in all of these disciplines. You may also opt for the Ready to Fly (RTF) models and still get plenty of enjoyment from the hobby. Come along to one of our flying sites, ask questions watch and learn and have a go and be prepared to have some fun!
