Please see the news page for current information
and legislation regarding model aircraft flying.
Glenluce and Galloway Flyers' consists of a group of
local people who are interested in flying radio
controlled model aircraft.
We are affiliated to the BMFA (British Model Flying
Association) and the club has a BMFA Examiner who
can help you gain BMFA A & B fixed wing flying
certificates.
The club is open to anyone who is interested in
radio controlled model flying and would be made
welcome as a new member.
Our constitution is inclusive and is available to view
here on our website.
The club has excellent facilities and can
accommodate the needs of all flyers from raw
beginners to experienced experts. Our long grass
runway is suitable for large scale models and sport
jets as well as a wide range of different sport and
scale models.
The North / South runway has clear landing
approaches from both north and south and a wide
open flying area over the moor to the east. The main
interests of our club are electric models, scale
models including warbirds, large scale aerobatics
and 3D flying, jets, sports models and trainers. So
you can see, we cater for everyone! If you are new to
model flying or are looking for a new club with
friendly experienced help on hand, then why not
come over for a look? You will be made welcome and
hopefully will have a lot of fun.
The flying site has been created by the members, on
farmland near Glenluce, twelve miles east of
Stranraer, renowned for its mild microclimate.
The club is constantly improving the site for flying
the full range of aeromodels. During the winter
07/08, a second east/west runway was created, so
that flying is not so dependant on wind direction. In
2010 we added a new extension, which is mown
regularly. Weather permitting, we fly our models on
Saturdays after lunch and on Wednesday evenings in
the summer.
Wednesday evening, is the main training time at the
club, starting at 6.30. The more experienced
members help train beginners to fly their models.
The club also helps members to develop the skills to
gain their BMFA A and B flyers certificates. Please
contact us for any further questions.
Good flying, keep safe

Mark Weber Chairman
A successful BMFA Centenary Record Attempt -
15th May at 12pm, despite a brisk breeze from the
east and a few showers, well done everyone.
Our static model display at Glenluce tractor rally, the
weather was perfect and we had a lot of interest in
the models from all age groups.
