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.

Local RC clubs have come together to put on a swap meet. It's a smaller venue than in the past. There are no displays or prizes. There will be food and the usual assortment of modeling paraphernalia at killer prices. Space is limited for swap booths. You can find all the details by clicking here to see the event flyer.

Check back here for updates as the date draws near.
NOTICE: All the wall booths are taken. There are still plenty of inside booths available.
