Southport Model Aero Club

Southport Model Aero Club (SMAC) consists of a small group of enthusiasts of all age groups, who fly a wide variety of radio-controlled model aircraft (mostly fixed-wing). These range from Almost Ready To Fly (ARTF/ARF) trainers, to full scale scratch-built models. The atmosphere at the club is friendly and relaxed (but we are serious about safety!).
We have been in existence in our current configuration since 1975 and are permitted to fly on Sefton's (Merseyside) coastline north of Liverpool at Ainsdale. Flying on the beach is possible all year round, although restrictions apply during winter and on days with very high tides. However, SMAC's main flying site is now at Leisure Lakes near Southport.
We are able to offer free training scheme for novices and have registered examiners who can take candidates for their 'A' and 'B' Certificates. We are affiliated to the British Model Flying Association. The BMFA is the governing body for model flying in the United Kingdom.
