Everyone has questions when first starting out ...here are a few answers to help you.
Q: Who flies?
A: Everybody! From your
Grandpa to Great-Grandkids, R/C flying has something for everyone. There
are no age or gender restrictions.

are even flying lawnmowers. Although most members fly conventional looking
aircraft.
Q: Where do you fly?
A: Our field is located
off Hwy 8, South of Gimli, turn West down Minerva Road.
Q: Which club?
A: Well of course OUR
club. The Interlake Remote Control Model Club. We are a recreational or
"sport" club. We love to fly and it shows.
Q: Can I teach myself?
A: You could try! The
fastest and least expensive way to learn is with a qualified instructor.
Most pilots would bet you won't last more than 10 seconds in the air on
your own that is....if you even get off the ground.
Q: When do you fly?
A: Whenever you like after
9 A.M. until dark every day until the end of November or until it snows.
In the winter, special fly days are sometimes arranged by club members.
Q: How do I get involved?
A: You could phone one
of the executives or attend a meeting. The meetings are held on the last
Monday of each month. In the summer they are held at our flying field;
in the winter they are held at Hanger 1 in the Industrial Park.
