Flying radio controlled (RC) models is an exciting hobby and offers challenges and rewards to the young and the old.
RC flying isn’t limited to the “standard” motorized aeroplane. A wide variety of models and styles are available: trainers, gliders, aerobatic pattern models, 3D, pylon racers, jets, helicopters.
Our main flying field is near St Helens – see our location map below.
A founding club member has passed away after a short fight with cancer On behalf of EastCoast RC Flyers, myself and my family, we send our condolences to your family
Please join us on Sunday 2nd of July at 10:00 for the Annual General Meeting. Will be followed by flying and a BBQ, weather permitting.
In September 2013, a bunch of model flyer enthusiasts met on a make-shift flying field in Scamander. Shortly afterwards, the East Coast RC Flyers club was born.
When the membership and the model sizes grew, an alternative site had to be found. It was an excellent find. For almost ten years, the club’s home is at Reid’s Rd, St Helens
Members and visitors are encouraged to visit our sponsors when next looking for applicable goods or services. Our sponsors generously donate to the club, and their support is greatly appreciated. Please visit our sponsor’s page here.
Special thanks to Alvin Reid, the land owner, for providing an excellent flying field and clubhouse.
The rise of the Asian economy has dramatically lowered the prices of model aircraft, electronics, and mechanical parts. Not too long ago, we had to spend a small fortune on our hobby, which deterred many potential newcomers.
Today, around $300 can buy you a good trainer and all the necessary equipment.
If you wish to join our club, or you want to have a look and visit us during our flying days, feel free to Contact Us.
