Welcome...
Don't be fooled by the name...we are a dedicated club whose members fly everything from winch gliders, helicopters and wing racers to high tech FPV aircraft. Our club participates in community events, promotes the hobby of RC flying and safety, and encourages youth participation through the Bob Pickens Junior Pilot Program.
- Our field is an AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) certified field, AMA #3308, and all members are required to have a current AMA card in their possession and display a club card when at the field.
- The LVSC is an AMA Gold Leader Club.
- The LVSC members pilot everything from gliders to helicopters to "drones."
- The LVSC has the only electric winch for launching gliders in Las Vegas.
- The carpeted runway is 250 by 35 feet and not only has good clearance, but fantastic views of the nearby Red Rock Recreation Area.
- Club membership is through an approval process only. Please see the FAQ page for more information.
- At this time only electric powered aircraft are allowed to operate at the field.
Recent pictures from the field. Great to see the kids out learning to fly.
CORONAVIRUS:
As of now the field remains open. However, we ask that you observe current social and interaction guidelines issued by the authorities.
New Runway Completed!
Many thanks to the members who came out and helped with installing the new runway. In addition to extending it 50' on the West end we also laid down a sandy runoff area on the East end and widened the taxiways to 15'.
We'll be posting some pictures and video soon and Barry will be writing an article for the magazine. If you have any pictures from the installation please send them to him.
Thanks again to all the volunteers.
