Welcome to Wimborne Model Aero Club
Wimborne Model Aero Club is a well respected club located in central Dorset on England's south coast. We are a large flying club of more than 140 members many of whom have a lifetime of experience in model building and flying. Many having worked in the aircraft and support industry most of their life.
All ages and abilities are catered for, from novice to advanced pilot. In fact we have a good number of pilots with trophys for 3D and extreme aerobatics. We can also offer training for new members wishing to learn to fly, progressing to their "white card" which allows them to fly unsupervised at our fields.
Our airfield sits on a hilltop with views in all directions of Dorset's glorious countryside and Summertime we have two Scale Model days, Duration/Thermal competitions and regular BBQ's. We now also hold an IMAC Competition too. IMAC are giant scale extreme aerobatic models flown to scheduled patterns and also in freestyle.
