The St. John's R/C Flyers is a MAAC affiliated club, located in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. It was formed in 1975 to promote the hobby of radio controlled model aviation in St. John's and surrounding areas. From September to May on the second Wednesday of the month we meet at the College of the North Atlantic.
Some of our members and their planes at a fun-fly at historic Harbour Grace field.
We fly from the grass air field in Harbour Grace, the paved air strip on Bell Island, and from our own field in Bauline. Our membership has remained constant for a number of years with around 35 to 40 members annually. To help promote the hobby and the club, we've held or participated in a number of events such as static displays at the Avalon Mall, the 2009 airshow at St. John's Airport, and numerous school and club presentations.
The club is open to anyone with an interest in building or flying model aircraft. We provide flight instruction to help you get your "wings", promote safety and provide assistance in building and repairing model aircraft. Annual membership fees ($45.00 for 2010) help cover our basic costs such as field rental, maintenance, and other essentials to keep the club going. Junior members (under 18) are half price. Membership in the Model Aeronautics Association of Canada (MAAC) is mandatory. Check out www.maac.ca for more information.
Visitors to our meetings and our field are always welcome. If you have any questions or would like more information, contact the club executive via email at executive@sjrcf.com
