The Edmonton Radio Control Society (ERCS) was formed in 1959 with the goal of providing safe and enjoyable flying facilities for the sport of flying radio controlled aircraft. Whether you are into nitro, gas, electric, or turbines, you will find pilots that share your interest. The club offers ground school and in-flight training for new pilots at no cost to its members. Our flying field is located just a few minutes east of Edmonton in Strathcona County. See aerial view of the field.

Field Closure
To all members:
At a special executive meeting held tonight to deal with Covid 19 and the new restrictions the following decision was made.
As of May 10, 2021 the field will be closed until the provincial restrictions are lifted.
The decision was made based on the following restrictions:
Outdoor social gatherings must be limited to no more than 5 people and a maximum of 2 household cohorts. Mandatory physical distancing must be maintained at all times between members of different households.
It should be noted that a different lock and chain will be place on the gate so your keys will not work.
Please be patient during this crisis and remain safe and healthy
Respectfully,
ERCS Executive
