Introduction
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 .
Objectives:
I) Short Terms:
• To facilitate the existing member hobbyist to pursue their activities.
• To ensure safety of flyers and third parties.
• To introduce a code of discipline amongst the faculty members conducive to better quality of flying.
• To identify ways and means by which all members can benefit and enjoy better value for money in furthering of their hobby.
II) Long Terms:
• To promote the growth of the sport and hobby of model flying and other associated R/C activities.
• To organize events and such other programs which might earn cognizance, acceptability and respect at the national and international level of the body corporate.
• To encourage and establish a suitable platform for training of aspiring enthusiasts.
• To sponsor suitable candidates to participate on national level in international competitive environments.
• To promote universal fellowship in the faculty of aeromodelling.
Since its inception, the Club has grown
to a membership of over 50 with all kinds of model aircraft
represented. Radio controlled (R/C) sport, aerobatic, pattern,
civilian and military scale can be seen at the flying field
most weekends. 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.
