Model Aircraft Flying near Bedford UK
Our members are mainly from Bedfordshire and West Cambridgeshire
About Us
Ivel Model Aircraft Club (Ivel MAC) was
founded by Radio Control (RC) model aircraft
enthusiasts in 1968 to bring together like-
minded modellers to fly their RC model aircraft,
have fun and talk about aircraft modelling. It
affords an opportunity to meet new friends and
get involved in this exciting and satisfying hobby.
The Object of the Club is to provide
members with facilities for all activities
associated with, the flying of radio controlled
model aircraft through Club ownership of the
freehold, or long lease of a permanent
model flying site.
The Aim of the club is to: offer advice and
flying instruction, to members and
prospective members of the club, and to
promote the construction and flying of
model aircraft in the local area.
Although the club has been in existence since
1968 some of its current members are founder
members, so you could say they know a thing or
two about flying RC aircraft.
The club has the enviable reputation of being one
of the friendliest RC flying clubs around. It
includes members, young and old, from all walks
of life who enjoy spending time together flying RC
models, meeting new people, making new friends
and helping new and experienced flyers.
We have several instructors who are able to
provide individual coaching 7 days a week
(weather permitting) from our site near Wilden,
Bedfordshire, or at our alternative site. In
addition, we have BFMA Registered Examiners
within the club so we are able to put flyers
through the BMFA achievement tests (A or B)
without the fuss or need to call in an external,
unfamiliar BMFA examiner. This puts us in an
enviable and unique position compared to model
clubs in the area who do not have this valuable
facility. (Currently we do not offer training for
helicopter or quadcopter flying).
We’re always happy to welcome new members to
our club. If you would like to know more, or get
in contact with the club, please go to the contact
page and fill in the contact form.The membership
costs are also shown there.
Who knows - you could be flying your own model
aircraft before you know it!
