Our annual member fun fly will be held on Saturday, September 21, 2024. We look forward to a BBQ and lots of good flying at the Rampart field.

Sunday was a beautiful day at the OKA field with lots of sun and almost no wind. Kevin brought out a plane and two helicopters. A small 1:30 scale ERA C138 that is destined for his grandson and a much larger version for himself.

Rundle, a future member of the club, introduced everyone that was present to the exciting sport of FPV flying with his custom built drone. Rundle captured some amazing video of the other aircraft flying and also demonstrated his skills flying through a loop on the ground.

Shaun, the grandson of founding club member Al Ritchie had several great flights, as did Rob and Richard with their aircraft.

A small group was out flying at the Old Kimberley Airport on Saturday, June 13th. The weather and visibility was perfect and we started early at 8:00 AM to beat the heat.

A special guest from Ontario, Hudson, aged 10, had an introductory flight session. Richard brought his E-flite Apprentice STS 1.5m plane which is a perfect trainer and beginner aircraft for anyone starting out in the hobby. Hudson was a natural pilot and flew like like a pro, including performing loops, rolls, landing circuits and several nice landings. Hudson left excited about the hobby and will surely be asking for a plane for his birthday.

The photo gallery has been updated with some photos from our flying session in May.

Our member fun fly, originally planned for Saturday, September 30, was held on Sunday, October 1, 2023. The weather on Saturday was cold with rain all day. Sunday brought absolutley perfect flying weather that was warm and sunny with little to no wind. The event was well attended by both existing and new members. Many different aircraft took to the air including Al with his glider, Kevin with his Night Timber and Eratix, Darryl with his DJI drone, Bob with his nitro trainer and Richard with his Apprentice, Night Timber and Sig 4-Star 40. We all enjoyed a delicious BBQ while taking in the sunshine.

We look forward to an even bigger event next year!
