Oro Valley E-Flyers is a group of friends...ok, radio control airplane junkies, who get together to fly RC aircraft
...strictly electric powered. Since we have been chased off the Dove Mountain Field by the rancher from hell (we believe it's
a Mad Cow problem), we now spend most of our flying time with the Sonoran Desert Flyers at the Naranja Town Site (Oro Valley)
at 660 W. Naranja Drive (click for map). If we have grass landers we want to
fly (or excessively noisy models (yes thats you "Zagi"), then we fly at the Casas Baptist Church athletic field (click
for map).
The Price to Play. The performance of e-flight has risen dramatically over the
last few years. And so has the cost. We are now to the point where we are stuffing $500 worth of electronics into a $50 hunk of foam.
And for that we are getting 100 to 200 watts per pound, and more, power figure. You don't need to be rich to enjoy this sport, but...
If
you are interested in joining us for a day of flying we welcome you. We fly 3-D, sport, scale, home-brew, gliders, helicopters
and anything else that's flyable, and some things that are questionable. We have qualified instructors on hand ready to
assist new flyers and we can give lots of advice, completely free of charge.

If you are tired of ARFs and ARCs and RTF's, and want to build a quality model the old-fashioned way, D&L offers a number of wood packs and plans kits that will fullfill this need. But if you still want ARFs, we can help you out there too. Some of our models are sold as complete kits, while others are available as ARF's (almost-ready-to-fly), or ARC's (all-ready-to-cover), or as laser cut wood packs only. Plans are available for most models. Accessories are available for all models including landing gear, wheel pants, cowls, motor offset thrust strips and rings, canopies, fueling systems, and spinners.
