Keep 'Em Flying was the slogan of the U.S. Army Air Corps and the title of a 1941 Abbott and Costello film.
The "Little Richard" is an easy to build and fly model, kitted by Easy Built Models, but we all built ours from scratch. A fun group build!
On the second Sunday of most every month, we fly outdoor models at the SAM 27 field near Lakeville. It has large expanses of open space and an R/C runway.
On the fourth Sunday of the month, as schedule permits, we fly indoor models. We are fortunate to have use of this wonderful old gymnasium at St. Vincent's in Marinwood.
This is the Marin Aero Club blog. We're from all over the
San Francisco Bay Area and share a common interest in building and flying model airplanes, mostly rubber powered free flight.

Although some of our members enjoy radio-controlled flying, we are traditionally a stick-and-tissue building and rubber flying club.
Meet us at Lakeville to find out more. You can find us at the SAM27 field on Lakeville Highway in Sonoma County (see below).
