Welcome to the Skyhawks Aeromodellers club
We're a group of radio control model aircraft flyers in Adelaide, South Australia.
Our club field is on private land out at Blakeview just beyond Adelaides Northern suburbs.

We fly all types of aircraft models, mostly midsized glow airplanes. Pattern and IMAC are well represented too, plus some electrics and helicopters of all sizes. We have MAAA instructors in the group and can teach new members to fly.

Notice Board

Skyhawks Aeromodellers Club started up in May 1984, with 4 founding members,
Peter Melders (1st.President)
Les Bollenhagen
Barry Handley
Keith Bancroft
and soon expanded to about a dozen core members.

The club was first situated at the Craigmore High School. With permission of the school the club flew there for approximately six to twelve months. Then they moved to Karbeethan reserve near Angle Vale and flew there for the next eighteen to twenty four months.
In this time they searched for land in the Playford area and found our current site which is second generation parkland.
The original flying area was on carpet and synthetic grass (from Memorial Drive) at the southern end of the paddock.
We have improved over the years to what we have to-day, with approximately 50 members, large grassed runway, an undercover area and club room facilities.
The club name was created by Russell Bond, a control line stunt pilot who used to fly with us from Craigmore.
