The Sheffield Society of Aeromodellers

Welcome to The Sheffield Society of Aeromodellers

Welcome to the web site of the Sheffield Society of Aeromodellers (SSA). We are a large group of aeromodellers mainly from the Sheffield UK area with many model flying interests - including slope soaring, indoor RC, electric power RC, helicopters, control line and free flight including F1E Magnet.

The club has a number of slope and electric flying fields in and around Sheffield. There are also fortnightly club meetings including model shows, swap meets / auctions, meals and demonstrations.

We produce and distribute "Gladys International", our bi-monthly news letter, posted to club members and onto the club's yahoo! forum as well. Articles and features are always eagerly welcomed.

If you wish to join the SSA then plese contact the membership secretary for an application form. For information on the various aspects of model flying please contact the appropriate club secretary. Contact numbers and emails can be found on the contacts page.

Flying Fields Wanted

The Sheffield Society of Aeromodellers are always looking for new flying fields. We only fly electric aircraft so noise is not an issue. If you know of any suitable locations or have a field for rent please contact us
