Welcome! The Pioneer Valley Radio Control Club is a group of approx. 75 members who enjoy a common interest and participation in the hobby of Radio Control Modeling. The purpose of the club is to enjoy and promote R/C aeromodeling in the Westfield area. It is a most rewarding hobby because of the challenges it affords you in both building and flying model aircraft. We fly both gas and electric powered airplanes and helicopters. The club is a charter member of the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA). The AMA is the world's largest sport aviation organization, representing a membership of more than 170,000 from every walk of life, income level and age group. The AMA is the official national body for model aviation in the United States and provides flight safety rules and regulations, insurance and other benefits to the club and its members. You can find out more about the AMA here. Even if you are only interested in observing the club in action, please come and join us at the field, visitors are always welcome. Weather permitting, weekends from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM usually have the most activity. Directions to our site: The site is accessed off Rt 10/202, past the MA Turnpike entrance, heading in the direction of Westfield. After exiting or passing the turnpike entrance, take the first right onto Arch Road. Arch Road branches with and becomes Lockhouse Road. Continue on Lockhouse Road until the road forks and bear left onto Cabot Road. The site is a short distance on the left and the first large open field you come upon. There is green sign with yellow letters just after a wooded area that marks the entrance to the field. Link to map of flying site
