The Club
The Club was founded in 1948 to support radio control enthusiasts, and has evolved mainly into powered radio controlled planes and gliders, some nitro but mainly electric powered craft. We are based in the Cookham district some three miles north of Maidenhead, where we have a flying site all year round at Hyde Farm. There are up to 75 members of all ages and experiences, and we especially welcome new and younger members to help develop their interests. The objectives of the Club are defined in the Constitution, and include promotion and encouragement of radio control model making, friendly association with similar clubs, and encouragement of younger members.
The Club is affiliated to the British Model Flying Association (BMFA) and membership of the club requires that every member must also be a member of the BMFA, through which all our members are insured (and must be as per club rules). The Club rules and conditions of insurance are described in the Club Handbook and also available on the BMFA web site or BMFA handbook. If you are interested in joining, or would like to discuss any topics related to the club or aero modelling in general, you will be very welcome to contact us.

Location
How to find us … From the A404 – turn towards Maidenhead and Pinkneys Green at the Bisham Roundabout – this is the A308. The A308 is a winding road, initially uphill, then levelling out (note – you will go past the entrance to Hyde Farm once the road has flattened off – DO NOT take this entrance as this is the entrance to the farm house).
Take the first right turn into Lee Lane (on a left-hand bend), about 1 mile after leaving the A404 – this is a narrow country lane.
After 0.3 miles, take the first turning on the right – a very narrow country lane (called Dungrove Hill Lane – not signed).
The entrance to the MRM flying site is 0.5 miles down this lane on the right hand side. Enter the farm gate and turn immediately left for the flying site car park.
