Come fly with me...
Nene Valley Aeromodellers is a group of enthusiasts enjoying a range of activities associated with fixed-wing and helicopter aeromodelling. The most popular being radio controlled flying using both IC and electric powered aircraft however, scale, glider, control line and free-flight are also catered for.
The club was formed over 35 years ago and typically has about 80 to 100 members, both adults and juniors. Experienced members are always pleased to advise on initial model set-up and provide flight training with approved instructors. The club can also provide assistance where required with the use of your own aircraft however, the club does own its own trainer aircraft. Novice members are always welcome and are given full training in the proper construction and operation of their models. In addition to this the club organises examinations for Flying Proficiency Certificates through its affiliation with the national controlling body, The British Model Flying Association (BMFA).
The club provides flying facilities at a superb 3.7 acre field between Olney and Yardley Hastings, just off the B5388. The site has a large hard standing, off road car park for use in the winter months
For those who are interested in fixed wing aircraft, the best time to meet other members is Sunday morning at the Olney field. For helicopter enthusiasts, Saturday morning is the best time to meet people with similar interests, again at the Olney field.
More details are available on the club’s website www.flynva.org and new members are always welcome, so why not come along and arrange to a free trial lesson with one of our instructors or contact:
