This is our special Friday evening session where Free Flight, Control Line and Radio flying all co-exist on the same field where we have been flying since 1946. The field is booked from 6pm but most people arrive around 7pm unless the weather is perfect.
Priority is given to free flight and control line, with slow quiet RC models allowed.
The field layout is shown below. See the full outdoor flying guidance on the Club Documents page on our website or click here.
FPV Pilots – use the pegboard to reserve your video frequency – see copy of pegboard here

We have noticed a recent tendency for boys to be on the field playing football, despite the club having booked the whole field. No RC or CL activity is to take place if there are boys playing football near our activities. They must be spoken to and given the option of either clearing off as we have booked the field, or going up to the far North West end of the field behind the caretakers house where they will be well out of our way. We don’t want to have a massive set to with them, so the option of letting them continue at the far end seems a sensible compromise.
If you are not sure about suitable RC models, please ask. This is a tricky field for RC with tall magnetic trees all round the field that cause turbulence even in relatively light winds!! For a video of the field click here
You can park on the field if required – enter by turning right after the houses on Park Drive. The gate is usually open. Code 1950 on the narrow edge of the lock.
We will be having Round the Pole flying from 1pm to 5pm in the main Sports Hall as a standalone event.
If you haven’t seen this before, come along as we have the usual crowd coming to fly RTP from as far away as Wales and Surrey.
If you have an RTP model, bring it along!!

This is an informal competition open to all types of model. The basic task is to fly overhead, cut the throttle, do a complete 360 degree turn and try to land as near to the spot as possible. The measurement is from where the model comes to a complete stop – not where it first impales itself!!
You can have as many goes as you want.
IVCMAC will be displaying control line and RC aircraft at the Girton fete once again this year.
Those taking part meet up at Girton before 11.00am. Display flying is scheduled to be continuous between 12 noon and 5pm.
Volunteers would be welcome to help set up, talk to the public about model flying, just visit to say hello, or to do some demo flying.
Please contact Alan Paul or John Copsey for more info. Please note that safety is paramount at this event as we have to have a Display Permit with nominated pilots in advance. Only experienced pilots will be able to fly.
