 Our beautiful flying site is in Valley Forge National Historic Park, located 18 miles northwest of Philadelphia in southeastern Pennsylvania at an elevation of 260 ft above sea level. This is the very same place where George Washington and 12,000 poorly-fed, ill-equipped and weary Continental Army troops spent the very cold winter of 1777-78 after the British occupied Philadelphia.
You can find R/C pilots here any day of the year as long as it's not raining or too windy. The Valley Forge Signal Seekers Radio Controlled Model Airplane Club is one of the largest and also one of the oldest clubs of its kind in the United States. The club was founded in 1959 and presently there are over 200 members. Chartered and insured by the Academy of Model Aeronautics (A.M.A.) , the club has a training program where qualified club instructors help novices learn to fly Radio Controlled Models in a safe and proficient manner.
