About Us

The Club was formed in 1972 as part of the Rolls-Royce Hucknall Sports and Social Club, purely for radio control model aircraft with no facility for control line models.
Due to security restrictions only 6 associated members were allowed to start with; this has now been extended to whatever the Club thinks is appropriate, currently 140.
Until 2015 we shared the airfield with full size flying [Merlin Flying Club Ltd.]. There was always a very good relationship between the two clubs, which ensured that safe flying was conducted at all times.

As a Club we celebrated our first 25 years existence in 1997, in conjunction with the Rolls-Royce Hucknall Site 'open' day where we combined our resources and also enjoyed a full size flying display as well as model flying.
