Hello & Welcome!
We’re an enthusiastic group of RC pilots flying out of Upper Coquitlam River Park. Our members fly everything from planes and helis to FPV drones and experimental aircraft.
We lease our field from the City of Coquitlam, giving members year-round flying access. We get together for fun-flys, barbecues, and swap-meets. Whether you’re new to the hobby or an experienced pilot, we’re always delighted to get to know other aviation enthusiasts! If you’re interested in membership or learning to fly, you’ve come to the right place!
Have a look through the gallery to see some of the planes we fly! If you have any questions or comments, please send us a message, or come visit us at the field!

Learn To Fly!
Traditionally, enthusiasts would fly in public parks, farm fields, or rural roads. Recent Transport Canada regulations have made this practice more difficult and flying with a MAAC affiliated club like ours is the best choice for learning to fly.
Our club has several volunteers who offer their time as instructors. Whether you are interested in airplanes, helicopters, or drones, our members can help you learn to fly and navigate the new Transport Canada laws and regulations.
We do recommend for newcomers to fly with an experienced RC pilot to ease into the hobby and mitigate the chances for crashes. It can make the difference between abandoning the hobby early or sticking with it.
