Introduction
Welcome.
Foothills Flyers is a Calgary based model aircraft club with a flying
site facility a half hour east of the city (link
to map).
The
club prides itself on having members who “pitch in” – doing what is
necessary to maintain our facility and support our annual special events.
Members
pay a modest $50 annual membership to enjoy a facility with an irrigated grass
airstrip (100’ X 800’), clubhouse and RV parking area.
Members
have made a tradition of weekend camping at the field, which has made the hobby
a family and social event for our members.
We
invite you to visit our field, to become a member, and share in our unique
approach to model aviation.
Mission
The
Club is comprised of members having a common interest in model
aeronautics as a recreational sport.
Non-competitive
in nature, the Club encourages participation and good fellowship for the
modeler and his / her family.
The
intent of the Club is to provide leadership within the general modeling
community in improving safety, aircraft and piloting skills outside of
competitive events.
Dedicated
to promoting the sport, the Club acknowledges applicable national and
international regulation as the standard for the non-competitive sector of model
aeronautical activity.
Rules
set out by the Club will be confined to matters of basic safety that are
fundamentally consistent with other modeling organizations.
The
Club, in providing for the needs of its membership, will always respect
the interests of similar organizations.
