 Who
Are We?:
The Quinapoxet Model Flying Club is a small club located
off Rt. 110 in Lancaster, Massachusetts, in an area known as the Bolton
Flats. As a club, we seek to promote the R/C hobby through the teaching,
building and flying of radio controlled aircraft, in accordance with
both AMA and club rules.
Visiting flyers (with AMA) are welcome as are spectators. Please, no
pets. Click here for detailed
directions. Click here
for the latest field conditions.
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.
Flight Instruction & Flight Tests:
The QMFC
encourages new members to the club and to the hobby. Therefore, we maintain
a staff of very experienced Flight Instructors. Flight instruction is
free of charge to QMFC members in good standing. See more information
under "Our Club". Click on either Basic Level
or Advanced Level to see our flight qualifying

Club Meetings:
Club meetings are held at Paul's house on the second Monday of each
month except for July and August. New members are welcome to come along.

Bob Caras is a new member to our club and he is currently building his trainer aircraft. Bob has kindly made the following offer to QMFC club members:
"I would like to extend our services to all club members for any hobby specific small metal repairs, i.e. welding..etc., within reason, no charge.
As a new member, and a beginner, It's a wonderful opportunity for me to meet members on a more personal level."
