The club was set up in 2004 by a small group of RC model aircraft enthusiasts who started flying from a football pitch at Culleenamore, Strandhill. In 2006 we moved to our present airfield at Annaghmore near Collooney, more details of which may be found on the Where We Fly page.

We fly mostly fuel powered airplanes from humble trainers to aerobatic to large scale replicas. Model helicopters are becoming increasingly popular amongst some of the members and one or two also fly gliders. In fact we don't restrict ourselves to flying, some members have remote controlled cars and we have even attached aircraft engines and propellers to our own airboat designs!
