We fly at the Shoe Factory Road Flying Field in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. Current AMA membership or a permit from the forest preserve district is required to fly at this field. The field is open from sunrise to sunset.
Spectators are always welcome.
The club contests are held on the second Sunday of every month with the rain day being the fourth Sunday. The Northwest club also uses this field, their contest day is the first Sunday with a rain date of the third Sunday. Throughout the year, this field will host a number of events. We'll do our best to post these dates at the field or in the newsletter. This is the time that instructors try to make themselves available.
