Jasper RC Flyers to Host Hands-On Open House for All Ages

The Jasper RC Flyers, a local Academy of Model Aeronautics charter club, will host their annual Open House on Saturday, June 21, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Jasper RC Flyers airfield . We are located at 1103 S 350W Jasper, IN, behind the Dubois Recycling Center. The event is free and open to the public. 

The Open House will feature opportunities for attendees to try flying radio-controlled (RC) airplanes with the assistance of experienced club members. In addition, children and families can decorate and fly their own “chuck gliders,” providing a fun and creative introduction to model aviation. The event will also include live RC aircraft demonstrations and a static display of various model airplanes for up-close viewing. 

“Our Open House is a great way for the community to discover the world of RC flight,” said Jeremy Church, Jasper RC Flyers Club President. “Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or brand new to the hobby, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. We’re especially excited to give visitors the chance to actually fly an RC plane and see the technology and craftsmanship that goes into these models.” 

Club members will be on hand to answer questions about the hobby and provide information about joining the club. All equipment for flight experiences will be provided, and no prior experience is necessary. 

Last year’s Open House was well attended, with participants of all ages enjoying the hands- on activities and demonstrations.
