About Us Glenrothes Aeromodelling Club was founded in 1960 by a group of committed aeromodellers (they're due for release soon in 2023). Their aim was to provide a place for individuals to pursue their interest in Aeromodelling in a safe, friendly and encouraging environment.

Meetings Members group meetings are currently suspended pending Scottish Government updates regarding 'Covid' social distancing. However, once restrictions are relaxed, meetings will recommence. It has previously been the norm that members meet regularly every Wednesday evening and formal meetings held on the first Wednesday of each month commencing at 7.30pm. Club members are active in the running and decision making of the club, as well as being kept up to date with the latest news and information relating to the hobby and sport of aeromodelling and club events.
