Who we are

About

Located adjacent to the Yarra Bowmen Archery Club in Bulleen Park (map) our club offers you something different in recreational activity. Aeromodelling, and particularly Radio Controlled Aeromodelling, is a fast growing sport covering a wide range of types of aircraft and flying (not to mention building if you are that way inclined).

At Doncaster Aeromodellers we cater for the youngest Juniors, to the most experienced Seniors, and everyone in between.

[Image] The flight line at Bulleen -- always busy on a fine flying day. From wind up, to electric, to internal combustion (fuel burning) propulsion, you will see everything from trainers, to scale and aerobatic aircraft, doing all the things full size planes do -- and more (Interest groups)! You will also find a combination of dedicated craftsmen who cherish building things from scratch, many who like building but find a good kit a better place to start (saves cutting out all those fiddly parts), and some who just like flying so prefer the increasing array of Almost Ready to Fly models that just need the engine and radio gear to be fitted and checked -- and then off to the field.

Normal flying times are limited to Wednesday afternoons, and Sundays (for internal combustion). You'll find gliders and electric models on most Saturdays. Flying can be affected by the weather, but in reasonably calm and fine conditions there could be up to 25 - 30 aircraft at the field at any given time.
