Visit Us
Our Flying site is located at 2550 Cliff Drive, Santa Barbara, CA , in the south part of Elings Park. From the Cliff/Las Positas traffic circle, the entrance is .1 mile east on Cliff on the north side. Turn onto Jeff Elings Drive. Proceed up to the parking lot and park; the field is a short walk to the left past the gate. Our runway is just below where the para-gliders launch.
Come visit us Saturdays from 7:00 - 9:30 AM. The park is open from 7AM until dusk. We do not fly when para-gliders are active. Evening flying starts about 4:00pm until park closing.
At our morning flying activity at Elings, we demonstrate RC airplanes to adults and youth. We can give you suggestions on buying, flying, and maintaining an airplane. We also can let you experience flying a model airplane. We teach using our airplane and two “controllers", one for you and one for the instructor. We give you control and take it back if you have difficulty. An introductory lesson is free. After the introductory session, an Elings Park membership is required. Contact us for information and to make a reservation to meet at the field.
Flying Off the Water (Float Fly)
We also fly airplanes on Lake Cachuma several times a year. Dates are published on the club calendar to the left on this page. Contact us for information and questions.
