About Our Club ...
The Kawartha Lake Radio Control Flying Club is an incorporated club whose 40 or so members all share an interest in radio control model building and flying.
Some of our Club members have been flying for many years. Others may have flown in their youth and then decided to come back to the hobby after retirement. Others just like the idea of being able to fly a miniature aircraft, but they all share the same enthusiasm and love for flight. In any event, the Club has fliers with different skill levels ranging from "expert", to "novice" and in between. There are several club members actively pursuing their specialty interests in Scale and Precision Aerobatics.
During the winter we have an active Indoor Flying group.
At any given time there may be several "new" members who have recently joined the Club and are learning how to fly. With time spent on a computerized "Simulator", followed by actual flights on a "trainer", and with an Instructor having override control using a transmitter "buddy box" system, you may be able to pick up the basics, and learn to fly in as little as 6 to 8 weeks!
Various Club members are always willing to help out as well. Our members will be quite happy to answer the questions that you have – we really enjoy talking about flying and building.For more information about this, see the Getting Started in RC section.
Visitors are most welcome at our flying field to watch our members fly and to learn more about our club and hobby. The best time to visit the field is on a sunny Sunday afternoon, or on a weekday morning. Our flying site is about 4 km east of Lindsay on County Road 17 (571 Pigeon Lake Road), northwest of the corner with Lilac Road
