Our Location
Nestled about halfway between Phoenix and Tucson in northwest Florence, Arizona, our club enjoys a perfect winter climate for RC activities. We would love to have you visit us or join our club. Although someone is usually present almost every day, our most popular times are Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings. If the front gate is open, come on in and say hello! If you want to learn to fly, we’ll help you get started.
