Introduction               

  Greenacres Model Aero Club
(B.M.F.A affiliated) was inaugurated in 1988

It is situated on an old disused airfield in Aldridge, Staffordshire UK. The club currently has 130 members and is still expanding. Interests within the club range range from sport, scale and pattern, both electric and IC, to gliders and free flight.

Important Notice:
Our flying site is operated by means of a flying permit system; these are issued by the club on behalf of the Walsall Leisure and Community Services .

This means that NO ONE can fly any aero model or toy plane without a permit, be it with or without a motor or engine of any type, or with or without radio equipment of any type or frequency on this site. This includes models classed as a toys, which are sold by local shops.

Flying at this field requires that a person is a current Greenacres member with valid BMFA insurance and Flying Permit, any GMAC Member who wishes to fly solo must have a minimum of an ‘A’ or equivalent to the BMFA achievement scheme recognised by GMAC.

Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council (W.M.B.C.) owns the airfield, the Greenacres model aero club follows the British Model Flying Association (B.M.F.A) codes of practice and W.M.B.C. guide lines, in accordance with the flying site risk assessment carried out by the national body.

The limits are 7kg/ 30cc. (32cc petrol only) For any controlled aero model flown on this site. (Sorry no Helicopters or Toys)
