Our roots really began with the Model Aircraft League of Manitoba (MALM) which was a multi-disciplined group that represented all flyers in the Manitoba region but this group disbanded in 1965-66 when the nucleus of the club formed the Winnipeg Radio Control Club (WRCC). Those control line enthusiasts, who remained loosely banded together formed the Winnipeg Flying Circle Club in 1966. The Flying Circle lasted but a few years and was basically gone by 1972-73. In the mid to late 70's, a loosely organised group of control-liners also existed in the area. They flew demonstrations at many of the Wpg Blue Bomber football games at half time but this group soon lost momentum and gradually fragmented itself into oblivion. However, some of the original MALM members and Flying Circle members returned to control line in the early to mid 80's and quickly met up with some of the 70's group. By 1987 the participants were ready to try the current format.

The Winnipeg Perfect Circle Flying Club was formed as the result of a collaborative effort of approximately 10 individuals who recognised that flying on their own was not as much fun as flying with others. This began in the year 1987 and the club became affiliated with MAAC in 1988.

Over a period of at least 5 years a rag-tag bunch of control liners in the Winnipeg area would randomly cross each others paths during the short flying season. So to make a long story short, the group decided that it would be a good idea to form a MAAC affiliated club and attempt the process of growing to a respectable size.

The initial intent was to simply promote control line activity in all respects. A prime goal was to promote building, skills & technology with all who desired to undertake the discipline. In a very short time (less than 3 years) the group grew to 25 and again within a few more years grew to almost 50 members. Many have passed through and moved on to other areas of the hobby. Most have stayed with the hobby and now enjoy our new flying site and activities. Currently our membership hovers near the 30 mark.

We haven't looked back since. Our club has an annual FUNTEST each year and members fly regularly at our
Kilcona Park flying field every Wednesday evening and Saturday/Sunday afternoons. The many facets of control line flying are represented within the club and we extend an invitation to everyone to join us.
