The Club

The Christchurch Radio Fliers Club (CRFC) is a group of people from all walks of life and ages (ranging from 17 to 70 something). We all share a love of aeromodelling, and especially Radio Controlled aircraft - which is where we get our name (Club History). We meet regularly to fly (club day is on Sunday mornings) and many members fly during the week at our field near Motukarara, some 30 km southeast of the Christchurch city centre (Map). We also meet many times during the year to discuss aspects of modelling and to listen to interesting visiting speakers. Our main event of the year is the FLOAT and FIELD fly-in which attracts many fliers from all over New Zealand over the last weekend in August. This is held at Lake Forsyth, although for the 11 years prior to 2006 it was held at Lake Crichton.
