WELCOME TO TRURO AND DISTRICT
MODEL FLYING CLUB

Discover the thrill of model aviation in the heart of Cornwall

 

Whether you are a veteran pilot or looking to take your very first flight, the Truro and District Model Flying Club offers the perfect environment to enjoy the world of radio-controlled aviation. Located in the beautiful Cornish countryside, our club is a community of enthusiasts dedicated to safe, fun flying

We are a friendly club of approximately 25 members. Most of us fly electric fixed wing, although there are one or two helicopter pilots. We have one of the best model flying sites in Cornwall near Trendeal, between Ladock and Summercourt.

The club has a long history and is around forty years in the making. That doesn't mean we are all old - just more experienced! We fly all year round but obviously the summer sees more action. We fly from a well mown strip with almost no obstacles to hit; although the ground is always there to welcome you home!  We fly most rc types: fixed wing, helicopter, glider, ducted fan jets (no turbines).

New members are always welcome. If you are looking for a model flying club in Cornwall that values camaraderie and flight safety, we invite you to visit our field or get in touch to see what we’re all about.  We give free lessons to beginners so you can test the water - or sky - so to speak, before committing.  Just email the club secretary:  tdmfcsecretary@gmail.com
