Maybe someone has already asked this, but why is the flying site links page US centric? You have quite a lot of fliers from England (and maybe people visiting England, 3D Masters anyone?) and a lot that post on these forums. Just wondered. No offence.

West Valley heli club:
http://wvheliclub.org/Home_Page.php
Thude Park (AKA Galveston St. Park AKA Chandler Bowl) This is where I ususally fly. It's electric only and a nice field setup by the city of Chandler. Not sure if they have a club but many of the guys hang out on RC groups. Good people.

Since I don't belong to the clubs I won't post in the links section so as to not step on any toes... You never know.

Atlantic County Skyblazers Riverbend field, If anyone is going to be traveling to the Atlantic City NJ area, pack your heli's and get a hold of me!! Our fields are each about 20 minutes from A.C. We love to have guest pilots out with us as long as your AMA is good. You can reach me directly via email Doctorgoodwrench@aol.com or message me here. Hope to have some of you, especially at the BIG gathering in September (formerly OC Bobs)

A great place if you are in Sonoma County is a park called A Place To Play in Santa Rosa, Ca. There are 4 soccer fields in a row, 2 baseball fields, and a huge second phase currently being built. Needless to say the place is a huge open area when the kiddies have no games. Best part though is even if there are games on all the fields there is another one right across from it that is not developed. To top it all off the fields have 5 ft high banks surrounding the whole thing so you can practice eye level 3d and still have a cushion or just fly below foot level for the hell of it.
If you decide to check it out PM me as my father and I usually fly Sat and Sundays around 9am.

1000' grass runway, off to the side of a farm. Awesome flying site, super nice people. Only heli guys are myself and 1 other who rarely comes out.. so basically just myself. I would love to get more heli guys out here.

Not really a club, but a page I update for us locals.
My assumption is to get coordinates from users, then make "their state page" with IRQ and a map.
I might be thinking to large.
look under the logo, bottom right corner..
It's been there for a long time. I guess no-one noticed it before..
I must be slow today because I can't find this link anywhere.
More details please.

My club, Lodi Area Radio Control Club:
www.larcc.com (http://www.larcc.com)
They are VERY heli friendly. The club's safety officer sees the rapidly rising popularity of helis and he's noticed that the club has been very slowly but surely adding pilots. At the last fly in, people with helis were on a different flight line but they were allowed to fly on the main flightline at times. This was due to the large amount of pilots present. Normally the helis can fly anywhere.
I believe we just got a new president elected, and he's out there all the time, and he's an awesome guy. The old prez, well I wasn't sad to see him go.
If you're in the southern central part of WI, feel free to stop by. Our funfly is the first Sunday of each September.
FunFlyers (http://www.funflyers.org) in Oregon, Springwater, Estacada, Eagle Creek area (East of Portland). Helis and planes. Name says it all, we fly and have fun.

None of the Helifreak links on the first page of this thread work for me. Are they referencing the old site? Should they be updated? or are they just down today?

This link seems to be dead. Is the club and the airfield still open and active?
