Location:

Flight Masters are located in Elkhart, Indiana. At present we have close to 60 members in our club.. Here in Elkhart we are at the heart of the trailer/manufactured housing capitol of the USA. With that in mind we have some very prolific builders and some very ingenious ways of doing things. Our Club meets the second Saturday of each month at the Elkhart Municipal Airport, Old Indiana Flight Center on CR 6, Elkhart,  at 1:00 PM. During the summer months we meet at our flying field.

Our Flying Field:

Our Flying Field is one of the best in our area. A 850' X 700' wedge with unobstructed approaches (except some years when the corn is up) it is located in the middle of a 1 mile square section of farm land. Only minutes from  downtown, located on the East side of Elkhart off of Middlebury street (CR 14) just east of CR 17 on the south side. It is an all grass field which we try to keep cut short for small wheels. 

We have a 15' X 20' sun shelter to be able to get out of the sun on a hot summers day. Picnic tables are available for the family.

 

Dues:

The dues for 2011 will be setup in a tiered structure as follows payable by January 31, 2011:
