R/C Pilots
Our field is a charted MAAC R/C flying field, therefore every person that flies here must be a club member or a guest of a member and have a valid MAAC membership.
Currently, due to the loss of the MAAC Exemption for Recreational Radio Controlled, (R/C), Aircraft with Transport Canada, all R/C aircraft are now considered RPAS, (Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems), and R/C pilots are now currently required to fly under RPAS rules. Meaning, in order to fly at our site, pilots will be required to have either their Basic RPAS Drone License, or an Advanced RPAS Drone License. Your aircraft will also need to be registered at Transport Canada as a RPAS, or Drone. For more information, see our RPAS License Guide.
For more information about becoming a club member please click the Membership tab above or email us at info@crestonvalleyrc.ca
Visitors
Visitors are welcome to drop in if you see someone out in the field flying.
For everyone's safety: If spectating please stay behind the flightline at all times. Please respect our property, do not handle R/C equipment or models without permission from the respective Pilot/Operator.
Note: There are often live cattle grazing within the surrounding field. As such, the gate at the main entrance must be kept closed at all times. Alway close the gate securely after you enter or leave the field. Thank you.
R/C Models
Models flown at our field include Airplanes (Scale/Sport/Aerobatic and others), Gliders, Helicopters, Multi-Rotors, and occasionally Rockets.
