The Capital City Flyers Club (CCF) originated in 1977. It started after the Edmonton Radio Control Society lost their field near Ellerslie on Edmonton's south side. While the society relocated to a field on the north side, other members found a temporary field on the south side. This group formed an organization to support the activities of people with a common interest in building and flying model aircraft. They later joined forces with the helicopter group to find a better flying site. Several of the founding members, in1980, elected to incorporate this organization under the Societies Act asa non-profit organization. The Club dedicates its regular activities to the "Sunday Flyer". Competition is limited to a couple of fun flies per year. These activities are planned to integrate with those of other clubs in the area.

The Club currently has an open membership policy. Its members come from a variety of backgrounds, therefore bringing a multitude of skills to the Club. The philosophy however, leans more toward the powered modelling and flying for the shear joy of the activity. Flying instruction is available for beginners. The Club extends a cordial welcome to spectators.

We are a chartered member of the Model Aeronautics Association of Canada (MAAC). The Capital City Flyers Club (CCF) is a radio control flying club located on Edmonton's south side. The Club caters to sport flyers of all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned veterans. Most members fly airplanes, although gliders and helicopters are welcome. The Club is very informal by nature. We hold one or two fun flies per year. Meetings are held on the second Wednesday of Sept., Oct., Nov., March, April, May, and June. Election of executive positions is held at the October meeting. The meetings are usually low key. They offer a good opportunity to meet other members, to learn more about the hobby, to discuss flying and building techniques.
