Welcome to the all new Clyde Valley Flyers web site

Clyde Valley Flyers is a model aircraft club based in Renfrewshire, Scotland. Many of our members live in Paisley and surrounding areas, you will often find a few of us in Paisley Model Centre which is our local model shop. We fly all manner of radio control aircraft from gliders to jet powered airplanes and helicopters, we also fly control line airplanes and a even a big kite!

Our membership includes a full range of ages, from the 'very young' right through to the 'not so very young' both male and female. Skill levels vary from the 'Extremely talented' right down to the likes of me!

For anyone new to the hobby we have a very talented instructor who will help you learn to fly. We also have a club trainer airplane which you can use to get a feel for the hobby before going out and spending hard earned cash on an airplane of your own. The members of the club collectively have a vast knowledge of all aspects of model flying and building and will be more than happy to assist newcomers and the more experienced flyers with any problems they may encounter.

Membership of Clyde Valley Flyers is very reasonably priced, the 2008 annual rates are: adult membership £35 plus SAA insurance at £27. All new memberships will also incur a one off joining fee of £15. For your annual subscription you will have unlimited access to our flying field (excluding some No Flying Dates published in our forum calendar) between dawn and dusk, night time flying is not permitted due to restrictions from Glasgow Airport Air Traffic Control. We have a club hut at the field with facilities for making hot drinks and food, and members often while away a few hours after a days flying discussing the finer points of model aircraft flying or dreaming up ever more elaborate methods of mole eradication!
