195/Paradise Club Flying Field

The Paradise Flying Field is shaping up nicely. The runway is still too rough for small electrics, but it's great for sailplanes. 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 member 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.

What's New

Let the 2010 Flying Season Begin!

We have great things planned for this flying season.

Field Improvements
This year we're going to make an investment in our field with the development of a true runway. We'll scrape off the grass, smooth out the dirt and seal it with Gorilla Snot. This will make operations with our electric models much more pleasant and easier on our models.

Soaring Contests
We are sponsoring our usual four thermal duration contests. The Labor Day weekend contest will be held at Farragut State Park. Click on the name below for more details.

Northwest Electric Fly-In - August 14th & 15th
This annual event has been a favorite of the electric power enthusiasts in the region. Now with the improved runway, it will be even more fun. The public is welcome to visit, watch, and learn. Beginners can even try their hand at flying under the tutelage of an experienced instructor.
