195/Paradise Club Flying Field

The Paradise Flying Field is shaping up nicely. Along with the grass runway, we now have a smooth packed dirt runway that works great with small wheels. See the Paradise Field page for directions and details.

 

Inland Empire Soaring Society... Now Inland Empire Quiet Flyers

Over the last few years our "Glider Club" has slowly become more modern, with members flying much more than just gliders. In fact most of the flying that we do is simply "Quiet." Brushless electric power and Lipo batteries have brought an entire new era of performance. We love the fact that we can fly for hours on end in the local park and not disturb others in the area.

Our members represent almost every aspect of the modeling world. You'll see members with exceptionally powered helis, Jets, scale planes, indoor woodies, EPP foamies, gliders, and even cars and boats.

The INDOOR Flying Season is here!

We don't stop flying just because the weather turns cold and sloppy. We just move indoors. Every other Friday night starting November 18th we take to the gymnasium at Covenant United Methodist Church, 15515 N Gleneden Dr, Spokane, WA  99208.

We fly small indoor airplanes, helicopters, 3D and whatever you care to toss into the air. Vapors and Embers are very popular, but we have mini Cubs and Aeroncas too.

By popular request we'll make sure to set aside time slots for the rubber powered and free flight gliders.

Check out the advertising flyer for a map and other details.
