Notice to all members:

As a result of the proximity of new buildings that are nearing completion to the north of our site, the no fly zone has been adjusted to the treeline nearest the end of our North runway.

Please do not fly to the north of our runway and field any longer. That area is going to have to be reserved for take off and landing only. Flying will have to be to the east and south. No more flying to the north.

Q: How much does it cost to get an airplane?
A: basic package of Engine, Radio and Airplane starts at about $300 and up. The Engine and Radio can be reused indefinitely and can be transferred to another airplane, so once you have the engine and radio, a new plane can be purchased for about $100.

A: Membership fees are reasonable. Open membership is $60 per year. Seniors are $30 and Junior members are $10. All members must also purchase insurance through our governing body, the Model Aviation Authority of Canada(MAAC) http://www.maac.ca/ . Annual MAAC insurance is $75 for adults and $10 for juniors.
