Anyone interested in RC models is welcome to visit  our field or attend one of our meetings. The flying field is most active on the weekends. Many pilots post their intention to fly in the “shout box”. Check it out for current information.

Meetings

Meeting information is posted in the Chat Box and are usually held on the last Tuesday of each month.
Contact any executive member for more information.

Instruction

We have several qualified instructors for both fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft.
Instruction is available for free to all student pilots.
Instruction is geared to the individual while following the MAAC wings program.
Once a pilot has completed the training program and won their “wings” they are qualified to fly solo at any MAAC chartered club across Canada.

Annual Fun Fly

Our club organizes an RC model fly-in during the summer every year.
This event is held at the Club flying field.
Details and the date of the event are published in the EVENTS page.

Community Demonstrations

Periodically throughout the year we participate in static displays and flying demonstrations in support of various community groups.
We have also been active in assisting local teachers in presenting information about the theory of flight to their students.
