Runcorn Model Association

Our club lies just outside the picturesque village of Frodsham in Cheshire on the edge of the Frodsham Marshes. The site is very open with great views and surrounded by a nature reserve. On field parking (during the summer season) is the norm, and the close proximity to the pits encourages the larger and more complex models to regularly appear.

We boast generous runway dimensions and expansive overrun areas on all sides easily catering for large and ‘tricky’ models such as jets and war birds.

Our installed hut houses a well equipped kitchen where the smell of the ‘greasy spoon’ breakfast often halts flying while the pilots top up with a quick snack or the ‘Full English’. During inclement weather spells the hut is frequently a hive of activity with many of us solving the worlds problems or voicing opinion on modelling matters.

We are a BMFA affiliated club who take safety seriously. We have several flight instructors available to members who will gladly teach newcomers how to fly and have fun, offer advice on model and equipment selection and where to get the best deals. Most importantly, they will ensure your success and enjoyment and get you to your BMFA ‘A’ certificate in a safe and controlled manner.

As a BMFA affiliated club your membership will ensure you carry proper third party insurance, understand the safety implications of flying model aircraft and grant you access to all the club facilities (including access to discounted fuel, on site charging for electric aircraft and unlimited use of the field). That’s right, were so well located we don’t have any restrictions on flying hours.

Our busiest times are on Saturday and Sunday mornings where people will usually be on the field at daybreak. Whilst these are the peak times, it’s often the best time to talk to the flight instructors and arrange tuition. Please bear in mind that instruction is on a voluntary basis and sometimes in huge demand. We suggest making arrangements in advance to guarantee your flight times. Instruction is carried out under the BMFA “Up and Away” scheme, though you’ll find encouragement from all members as you progress to your ‘A’ certificate and solo flying.

New members are always welcome and invited to visit us at the field on a Saturday or Sunday morning. Just ask for the membership secretary for joining details. Our emphasis is on fun! We look forward to seeing you down here.


Our club makes you happy!	Stukka on dirty pass.
