Anyone aware of any Helicopter groups in Southern California near Corona, Lake Elsinore, Wildomar, Murrieta or Temecula? I’ve been searching the web and although I find plenty of Plane groups, I can’t seem to locate a group into heli’s.

Thanks in advance!

There is a group that flies in the Palomar area but I'm not sure who and where.

I would fly Palomar if I knew where they flew. I have a good friend down there I could visit at the same time.

Airboss is right, Circle City Flyers has a pretty good heli crowd.

Menifee Valley Flyers is a nice group. We're mostly planks, but our current president is trying to attract more heli flyers, having become a recent convert himself.

The atmosphere is very laid back, and plankers and heli flyers get along well.

FANTASIC information!!!!

Thank you soooo much. Just getting ready to purchase a Trex 450se v2 (in a week or two) so wanted to at least start finding people around the area. I’m lucky in the since I have a LARGE field on one side of my backyard and a school field on the other side of the backyard (glad that no homes have gone up in the field yet) so I can fly right out my back door, but to have people to talk to that are into the same stuff would be nice J

thats all the room you need, get some good sim time before first flight, have someone check your heli and set up.good luck and have fun.

Flying with more experienced pilots is a good idea, Airboss helped me out a lot as well as a lot of other people. Finless Bobs videos are a great source of info also, so in that sense he's helped me out too. :smokin:

FYI: Palomar Flyer's field is at the NE corner of the intersection of I-15 and S-76. Exit I-15 and head East. Look for the sign on the left and go through the gate. Kinda hard to miss.
