Welcome to the Virtual home of Stansted Model Flying Club

Stansted Model Flying Club welcomes new members of all ages and abilities. Our primary aim is to have a relaxed atmosphere for our members whilst promoting safety at all times.

Stansted and District Model Flying Club is based in open farmland just a few miles north of Saffron Walden (South of Cambridge) on a disused aerodrome with very easy access from the M11 and A11. We are a very active and friendly club that flies all year round. Flying times are 10am till sunset or 8pm, whichever comes first. The site is to be vacated no later than 8:30pm and we fly every day apart from Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Promoting Safety at all times

Above all else, the club aims to provide an environment for everybody to enjoy the hobby safely. Being a BMFA affiliated club means we have access to extensive 3rd party insurance cover, safety bulletins and educational programs. Although not required for trial flights for new members, BMFA membership is an essential part of club membership ensuring we are safe and insured.

A true multi-discipline club

There are very few restrictions imposed and all types of model aircraft are flown, including but not limited to helicopters, scale and aerobatic aircraft, multi-rotors and gliders. All of which get along very well together in a flying environment free from obstacles or high terrain. There’s free training for beginners and improvers available all year round, with several club examiners at the field most weekends and during the week to lend a helping hand. Unfortunately we are not able to cater for jet-turbine or similar models on a regular basis.
