Oldham Model Aero Club
Welcome to Oldham Model Aero Club (OMAC): we have a long and rich history dating back to just after WW2 and we are affiliated to the BMFA
About us
Our members fly anything from small electrically powered foam models right the way up to large models with internal combustion engines. We also have a lot of members who fly various sizes of Helicopters too. Members are able to fly models up to 25Kg in weight at take-off If you are new to the hobby, or interested in joining our club, please contact us us. With plenty of different models available on line and in model shops, it’s easy to become confused about what model is the best for you and what other equipment you may need. We can advise you on the best models for entry level flyers and we will help to ensure you become a safe and competent flyer. We will gladly and freely offer you the best advice and tuition to enable you to enjoy the hobby as much as we do. Joining any model flying club is not just about the flying and/or talking to other like-minded people - it has other benefits too. Aside from learning to fly safely and competently, we ensure that all of our members are enrolled within the BMFA and are covered by their excellent insurance policy. Our club flying field is open all year-round during daylight hours. You will also be able to have access to our fleet of six fixed wing trainer and advanced models and can be assisted by any one of our club instructors. Should you also be interested in FPV flying, our members will gladly advise you on the best setup for your model, and they will also advise and assist you in getting to grips flying FPV and the relevant regulations to ensure that you remain a safe and legal flyer. There is no joining fee and our membership costs are very competitive, especially considering the facilities on offer. For junior members (under 18) there are no annual club fees just the costs of joining the BMFA/CAA. If you are interested please get in touch and we can offer you some free experience flights with an instructor to get an idea of what we do and how enthralling it is.
