The Denver RC Eagles was founded in 1960. Since its inception, the club has grown from a small group of RC enthusiasts to a group of about 100 members.
The Eagles flying site (Suhaka Field) is located at Cherry Creek State Park, approximately 9 miles southeast downtown Denver. There are two paved runways (400' & 275'), paved taxiways and pit area. Activities cover nearly every phase of R/C Aircraft building, flying, and Fun-Fly events. Club members have diverse interests in scale war birds, aerobatics, helicopters, ducted fan jets, electrics, and turbine powered aircraft. Beginners are always welcome and instructor pilots are available for flight training.
The Denver RC Eagles club maintains the runway facilities and field maintenance and your membership is encouraged to help support the facilities. Access to Cherry Creek State Park is via I-25 (exit Belleview) or South Parker Road. A Colorado State Park pass is required for entry. State Park annual pass is the most cost effective.
Hello Members,
Last Saturday, Joe Apice organized an airfield maintenance day. About a dozen members showed up. We trimmed the grass around the fences and pits, killed weeds, and picked up trash. Fortunately, the grass this year has not grown much. We can expect longer grass next month. The maintenance days will be the 3rd Saturday of every month and an email will be sent out prior to each maintenance day.
Our first barbeque is scheduled for May 5th. We need volunteers to help with this event. Contact me for more details.
Our first FAA NOTAM for this year, was received recently. One of the things to keep in mind is that these NOTAMs can change. Also remember that just because you were just informed about the NOTAM, that does not mean that the NOTAM is still current. Check for NOTAM updates frequently.
We have had great flying weather the past few days and it looks like it will last all season. Have a great time flying and fly safe.
John Dickens
