We will be reaching out to the local schools in the area to help promote aviation. If you are interested in getting involved in these type activities, please come and see us!

The club has helped a local American girls group learn about aviation and support them in earning their badge.
​
We honor our Veterans and have an annual Memorial Day Fly in their honor each year.

We offer help learning how to fly. We have a club trainer and have several folks ready to help. stop by and pay us a visit or contact us via email. 103richardfrank@gmail.com and we will be glad to talk with you!

If you are looking for a family-oriented place to fly and enjoy the hobby, we may be the club for you. Come by and check us out!
Above you will see the club trainer we have been using. Its an older Alpha 60 glow converted to electric. we have it set up with a buddy box. It flies very well and is perfect to learn on. We have several folks that are willing to help anyone that is interested in the hobby of aviation.
The club trainer is in the hanger receiving some repairs and will be back soon!

The Hartwell Tailspinners history and news page
Did you know:
Back in June and July 1995 it was a very important thing to make sure you had a frequency pen and watched when you turned on your transmitter if someone was flying. With the new 2.4 radios that is now a thing of the past. Back in July 1995 Porter Harvey demonstrated tips and covering techniques for the club. He also went over several types of covering and how to apply them. Porter was a master builder and loved to use silk span and dope on his planes.
​
T shirts and hats:
We have hats available. The cost is $22.00 each. See Richard F or Richard L for details.

​
Club workdays: We picked up rocks after the last meeting. Thanks to all who participated. The grass around the field has been cut including the new runway after the rocks were picked up. Check the mins on the Members page and you will see a list of items to be done at the field. If anyone completes the items let us know so we can check them off the list. We will have our next workday at the April meeting. I hope all of you can come out and enjoy some good fellowship and every once in a while someone will fly something!

IT'S 2025!
Hello to all you folks out there in RC land!
If you are looking for a family-oriented place to fly come out and check us out. As the weather warms up so does the activity at the field. If the gate is open come on in and say hello. Pull up a seat and chat awhile. Every once in a while, someone will fly something!
Kids are welcome and we have the ability to let them experience the joy of RC.
