Latest Update: 12/23/2009	About Our Club   The Sky Ranch Flyers R/C 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 models.  We are chartered by the Academy of Model Aeronautics, Chapter VII #2883.   We are involved in a number of different activities.  An annual event is the Delta Darts contest we hold for the Young Astronauts / Astro Kids at the Allenton Elementary School.  After the students  have completed building their Delta Dart rubber powered airplanes, one of our club members gives a brief talk about how and why airplanes fly using one of the R/C models that we bring.  Then, we hold a contest to see whose little plane can stay up in the air the longest in their group.  We’ve had some planes stay airborne for longer than ten seconds which is quite good for 100 turns of a rubber band.  Everyone has a great time and leaves with a good feeling because they know they have done something good for their community.  We have also put on flying demonstrations for the Cub Scouts and continue to work with the Kettle Moraine EAA chapter #1158 Youth Camp.  This program began in 2000 and is a great opportunity for kids between the ages of 13 to 15 to learn about aviation.  As with the Allenton Astro Kids, we invite the students to come out to our flying field to have a “hands-on” experience with our club and members Trainer Aircraft at their control with our help of course.   Our flying site is located six miles west of West Bend on Highway D at the Sky Ranch Airfield.  You are welcome to come out and visit us while we are flying. Sky Ranch Flyers R/C Club provides many benefits. Experienced builders and R/C pilots. Large open flying site with a shelter, work tables and ample parking. Events that the entire family can enjoy. Training is available so your first flight does not end up in a crash.     We hold monthly club meetings at the flying field shelter in summer and by location announcement during the winter months.   New members are welcome
