About the Quiet Flyers
The Quiet Flyers is a chartered club registered with the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) Charter #:3710
This club was formed specifically for electric power and glider aircraft. We welcome members who like to fly economically with light aircraft. A full AMA membership, Park Pilot membership or youth membership is required to join (this is your flight insurance). If you love model airplanes, this is the place to be! Membership is $10.00 annually, per calendar year. Use the Contact Us tab or the Membership and Questions button below to inquire how to join.
Where we fly
Our primary site is a paved 250 ft runway at Seminole Valley Park in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It is handicap accessible.
We often fly at other sites, Such as Wanatee Park (near Marion)
When the wind and weather is right, we fly gliders and slope-soar at Mt. Trashmore
If interested in glider flying and to find out more about Mt. Trashmore flying contact Wayne Edwards at wedwards@imonmail.com .
