The Elgin Flyers Model Airplane Club is part of the Model Aeronautics Association of Canada (MAAC). MAAC is a non-profit organization that brings together model airplane enthusiasts of all kinds from across Canada. From flying just for fun to world-class competition, we provide a common theme of safety and general operations that is shared by the hundreds of member clubs across the country.

MAAC represents the hobby with both Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, where we protect our radio frequencies, and with Transport Canada where we have negotiated on behalf of the hobby for reasonable regulations for model aircraft.  MAAC is also a great source for learning, with training materials and flight instructors available at most MAAC member clubs.
