Blenheim Model
Aero Club's flying site is located on the ARA vineyard on
state highway
63 approximately 10 km from the Renwick, West Coast road turn off.
Club members meet at our flying site every Sunday and Wednesday morning. If you are
interested in radio controlled flying, please feel free to visit
our flying field on a club day. Alternatively, if you are
interested in joining our club, contact our club Secretary.
As well as our regular Sunday and Wednesday club days we also host an annual fly-in
once a year, and several float fly's on one of the large lakes on ARA's
vineyard.
Our club members have a wide range of interests in model radio
controlled aircraft including scale, vintage, aerobatics, electric,
gliding and jet turbines and are willing to share their knowledge with
anyone else who has an interest.
