The club was set up in 2004 by a small group of like minded individuals and now has nearly 20 members.
We fly mostly fuel powered airplanes from humble trainers to aerobatic to large scale replicas.
There are also a few helicopters that hover around from time to time.
Please be patient while we develop the site to best promote our sport in Sligo.
The website will be for the members so please feel free to email suggestions, photos, tips
and trivia to the email address below:
info (at) sligomfc (dot) com
We try to fly every weekend and some summer evenings (weather permitting)
at the clubs own flying site near Collooney - check out the "Where We Fly" page for details and directions.
We welcome anyone to join and advise them to come see us first to get a feel for the sport.
We also welcome anyone to come and have a look at us fly.
However in the interest of your safety you must ask the members present before entering the flying field.
If you are interested in this sport then we would be delighted to
start you in the right direction. Aircraft, radio, engine and fuel choices all have an impact on your success.
WEBSITE PROBLEMS
We recently experienced some serious and sustained virus attacks on the website. After a long time
was spent fending these off (to no avail) I decided to delete all material from the website database and start again, this time
with more resilient coding and passwords. I intend to have the website back up and running soon, this time with all pages
working with the exception of the gallery for while (where the problem started). Thank you for your patience. - Sligo MFC Webmaster.
