 Who Are We?:
The Quinapoxet Model Flying Club is a R/C aircraft club with
fields located off River Street in Holden, MA. and rt110 in Lancaster at an area known as "Bolton Flats".
As a club, we seek to promote the R/C hobby through the flight instruction,
building and flying of radio controlled aircraft, in accordance with both AMA
and club rules.
Visiting flyers (with AMA)
are welcome to fly at our fields while accompanied by a QMFC club member. Non-flyers are welcome as spectators. Please, no pets. Click here for detailed directions.
The Holden Field is now OPEN. But you must respect the new regulations by order of the Massachusetts DEP.
Announcing the 2nd Annual Air Show and Picnic at Holden Field on September 7. For more details please click here
What do we do?:
We primarily focus on
R/C sports, sport scale, pattern and scale aerobatics. We also have quite a
Gremlin combat following. We do have a few club members who fly helicopters
at the field. Other members who like to fly gliders or compete in racing
events tend to belong to other clubs. Most of us either build our own planes or assemble ARF's (Almost Ready to Fly) aircraft. If you'd like to see some of our building projects click here.
