....and thanks for visiting. Feel free to visit often.
We are a non-profit association of about twenty or thirty friends who enjoy helping each other build and fly model aircraft. We also enjoy flying rubber powered freeflight, and micro RC aircraft indoors during the winter.
Our flying field is located off Highway 61 at the intersection of Highway
130 and McCluskey Dr. (the old Paipoonge Concession 4 Road). The entrance is off Highway 130. Members can usually be found at the field on Tuesday mornings, Wednesday nights (our informal training night), and every Sunday, usually after eleven o’clock AM, June through October, or anytime one or two members can get together for some fun and relaxing flying..... Weather permitting, of course.
North of Superior Flyers is intended to be an association of friends helping friends enjoy building and flying all types of model aircraft. Our meeting schedule varies. Updates will posted on our schedule page here:
Please feel free to peruse this site. I have finally been able to wrangle some more server space, and the North of Superior Flyers now have our own domain: www.nosf.ca.
