Wings India Radio Controlled Model Club was established in 2004. It has been incorporated as a registered association 'To further, and provide facilities for, the enjoyment of the sport of Aeromodelling and other associated activities, and to promote, protect, organize and encourage in every way, the flying and development of model aircraft'. The broad objective of the club is, To congregate a group of like minded people and form a body who would be interested in the promotion of the hobby of Aeromodelling .

Occasionally R/C gliders, pylon racers and helicopters also put in an appearance. Electric flight is the fastest growing area in aeromodelling today and electric powered models can be seen most weekends.

Flying Field

The Club's main activity is flying of model aircrafts. We currently have two flying fields. One is located in the in the city of Mumbai, known as Race course RWITC and the other is in the suburbs at Madh Island, Malad. Both the fields are easily accessible from any part of Mumbai City. A separate page has full details about our Flying Field .

Neither of the two flying feilds belong to the club and as such, the flying activity is subject to permission from the local authorities at any given time. However, the club assists in co-ordinating flying facilities at these sites in respect of camaraderie between its members. Membership of the club does not constitute any obligation on part of the club to its members of providing unrestricted access to such places.
