K-W Flying Dutchmen Annual Scale Rally
For over 30 years, the K-W Flying Dutchmen has hosted one of the largest Scale Rallies in North America at our field in Kitchener. It is always held on the weekend following Labour Day. This air show features over 300 aircraft on static display, most of which will be flown over the two-day event. Pilots from as far away as Alberta, Canada and California, USA have attended our Scale Rally. There are R/C vendors on site, as well as food and beverage vendors. Raffles are also held on both Saturday and Sunday.
Friday night we have a corn roast, on Saturday night there is a dinner after which you can take in the spectacular night flying display. Flying begins at 9 a.m. each day, after the pilots meeting, and continues until 5 p.m. There is also a "mini air show" at 1:00 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday featuring aircraft from various eras, unique planes, helicopters, multi-engine aircraft and jets. Admission is $5.00, under 12 years of age $1.00 per day, NO charge for registered pilots or campers.
* Pilots pay $5 to enter, but get a refund upon transmitter impound.
This is strictly a Scale and Stand-Off Scale event. MAAC or AMA membership is required to fly. Muffler/FAI sound level rules will be enforced. All radios must be impounded and there is a spectrum annualizer supplied by Flite Craft of Kitchener to monitor frequency use.
There are about 40 campsites (no hook-ups) available anytime the week before the Rally for $10.00 a night. As well, there are many area hotels/motels and camping facilities in the Kitchener/Waterloo area.
There are up to 5,000 spectators that take in this two day event. Come back to our home page often for all the newest information about our Scale Rally and club happenings.
