Where we fly

Expert pterodactyl pilot

The Golden Jubilee back oval is now one of the finest flying fields in metropolitan Sydney and the only one in Ku-ring-gai suitable for radio control model aircraft, particularly the large, expensive competition models. It is an excellent gliding site although most members now fly many different types of electric models.  Because there are no trees or obstructions to the east and north, we are able to use the field as the runway and flying takes place over the adjacent National Park. This enables us to maximise safety by avoiding flying over people or occupied houses. Hence, it is ideal for training beginners, practising for competitions and general sport flying.

We have a permanent booking as the major tenant and as aeromodelling has increased in popularity, we have built an on-site storage facility as the first step to creating a more family oriented environment and encouraging youngsters to enter the world of aviation. We’ve also added a weather station and a web camera overlooking the field.
