Where We Fly

Our club operates and maintains two flying sites, Radio Control and Control Line. These facilities are registered with NZMAA and are not available for public use. They are only accessible by club members as gate access codes are required for both sites. However, on known flying days guests are made welcome. We also fly at Lake Ratapiko, Lake Cowley (float planes) and Back Beach (slope soaring).
