Welcome to the ROTORUA MODEL AIRCRAFT CLUB (Inc)
The Rotorua Model Aircraft Club was established in 1948 by a young group of ATC cadets. In 2023 the club celebrated its 75th anniversary.
The Clubs official flying days are Sundays and Wednesdays weather permitting. Although flying often takes place any day the weather permits.
A regular flying email group keep each other up to date if there is any flying planned. To join this group email us at our email address listed below in the contacts.
Located at 59 Mead Rd. The Club has a 180m long runway one of the longest in the country. The Club is affiliated to Model Flying New Zealand Model Flying New Zealand – A Sport. A Hobby. (mfnz.org)
Mead Rd is 10.8km up Tarawera Rd about 1km before the Buried Village. Visitors are always welcome as is anyone interested getting into the hobby. We fly R/C aircraft, gliders, helicopters and drones. Assistance and training is available.
Like most high performance sports, there are risks in model flying and we take steps to ensure that safety is paramount. Further we must insist that, for insurance purposes, use of the field for model flying be restricted to financial members of the Club and invited members of Model Flying New Zealand (MFNZ) affiliated clubs
Why not come out for a visit to the Club have a trial flight on our club trainer with an instructor using a buddy box and find out the advantages of club membership.
