Many of the club members have buddy boxes so you can try your hand at RC flying without the worry of crashing a plane. The experienced flier with the buddy box can bail you out! This club has grown from just a handful to Quartzsite Desert Flyers over 55 members and many more visitors and guests. The flying field is open to every- one. You do not need to be a member of the club to enjoy RC flying. It's a fun way to enjoy the desert weather and remote control flying.
