New England 2024 Scale Soaring Aerotow
April 18-21, 2024
The RC Propbusters present our annual four-day scale sailplane aerotow weekend April 18-21. There is every good chance some will be flying Wednesday the 17th. Come enjoy our beautiful flying site in Salem, Connecticut
Soaring from a manicured grass field, the surrounding farm fields and rural terrain produces fantastic thermal activity!
The CT coast has lots to offer families from great seafood, historic town of Mystic and Mystic Seaport, Rhode Island ocean beaches and the 24/7 action at Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods resorts.
WELCOME BEGINNERS and ELECTRIC FLYERS: If you own a scale sailplane or are interested in getting started, we'll help you get some stick time. All forms of electric-powered sailplanes are welcome to fly. No winch or high start flying is permitted.
Lunches: Pizza Thursday, Grill gang in action Friday & Saturday, Sunday BYO
Tow donation: $60/all four days, $25/day. Active tow pilots $40/all four days.
Current AMA or MAAC required.

479 Norwich Road, Salem, CT 06420. From intersection of CT Routes 85 & 82, go East on Rt. 82 for about 3 miles. Entrance to the field is on the right. If you come to Rt. 354 (Gardner Lake) you have gone ¼ mile too far. From I-395, Exit 80, Rt. 82 toward Salem. The field is about 6 miles on the left.
