About the club:

With around 100 members, Burlington R/C Flyers is one of the largest model airplane clubs in eastern Massachusetts. Regular club meetings are held at the VFW Hall at 2 Hayes Lane (off Woburn Street) in Lexington MA. The club meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of the months of February, April, June, September, and November, from 7:30pm until 10pm.

The club maintains an R/C model airfield located in Burlington, Massachusetts (about two miles from the Burlington Mall), adjacent to Blanchard Road.

The club has several designated instructors who are available to teach beginners. This instruction is offered free of charge by these members, in the spirit of promoting the hobby to newcomers. Even club members who are not dedicated instructors are always willing to lend a hand and extend advice to beginners.

New and prospective members are always invited to attend the bimonthly meetings, and everyone is always welcome to stop by the field and check out the action for themselves!

New members are always welcome to join. The club does require all members to hold a current membership with the AMA.
