Sky Ranch Flyers R/C Flying Club

  is a "not-for-profit" radio-controlled model aircraft club formed in the
  early 1990’s to promote the sport and hobby of flying R/C airplane
  and helicopter models.


The home of the Sky Ranch Flyers is a
"Federally Licensed Airport", the
Hahn Sky Ranch Airport
(2T5) located six miles west of West Bend on
Highway D, which we have been flying since the last 1980's.


We are chartered by the Academy of Model Aeronautics,  Chapter VII #2883.

Our club offers the following:
  • A casual flying environment to fly Gas, Glow and Electrics
     
  • Experienced builders and R/C pilots.
     
  • Large open flying site with a shelter, work tables and ample parking, and electricity.
     
  • Events that the entire family can enjoy.
     
  • Training is available so your first flight does not end up in a crash.

News from the Flying Field:

July 20, 2010:  Jim Steinmetz ran into some trouble Tuesday night, and lost an Accura Deep East of the flying field.  A six man rescue crew attempted recovery, but they were only able to find the wing.  Later that night, the owner of the house southeast of the field showed up and
had Jim's plane - or what was left of it.  Thank goodness for good neighbors who come to the rescue!

July 18, 2010:  During the club meeting, Al Broecker announced he had a few "Thank You" note from two students of the EAA Air Camp,
Lauren and Emily Dunlap.  Click here to see their notes!

John Malotky and Steve Klug won "Best Flying Scale  - Sport"
as they both took to the sky.  Steve was flying his Decathlon and John was flying his Stearman.  They did a beautiful formation flight and "blew some smoke" with their coordinated loops and turns!
Tom Blackstone won "Best Scale Scratch-Built" with his B-25C Mitchell, as
he did two flights - and guess what, no nose wheel issues!

July 10, 2010:  Sky Ranch Member Randy Knapp attended the Pebble Creek's Fun Fly and took a few pictures of the event. Click here for pic's.
