Welcome to Northern Flying Group,

 

 

Always Constructing!

Northern Flying Group Inc is a very active Radio Control flying club in the Northern

suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

The Northern Flying Group was founded in 1978 when a small group of aero-modellers decided to form a club.

We started in the paddocks of Roxborough Park and since then we have changed fields several times.

These tough times have helped mould us into the great club we are today.

 
 

Whilst we actively and rigorously compete in both Inter-club and Intra-club competitions, our primary objective is to have fun…SAFELY! We are envied by other clubs for our comradeship, team spirit, and warm welcoming attitude toward new members.

As a new member we offer you free tuition on Saturdays and have you flying Solo in as short a time as possible.
