Welcome!
Thistledown Flyers is one of the oldest radio control (R/C) flying clubs in northwestern Ohio.
Big Plans for 2008
Once again, Thistledown Field will host a major R/C flying event, on September 5, 6, and 7. This year, we're joining forces with Flying Giants to bring you the The Heart of Ohio Huckfest.
The Huckfest features all the best of R/C flying, from Giant Scale to small electrics — and everything in between. All types of aircraft are welcome. We'll have night flying under stadium lights, good food, and plenty of space for campers and tents.
Mark your calendars now for September 5, 6, and 7! We'll see you at the Huckfest!
Fly-In 2007
Our 2007 event was a huge success, perhaps our best event ever. Thank you to the great pilots who showed up from all over the country. We at Thistledown Flyers strongly believe that the pilots make the show, and you proved it again in 2007.

Miles Reed Achievement Award
Again in 2007, we presented the Miles Reed Achievement Award to a deserving member of the Giant Scale Community.
In 2007, we were proud to honor Bill Folk (on the right below). Also pictured are 2006 honoree Vince Mariani (left) and Miles Reed (for whom the award is named). The Thistledown Flyers present the Award annually at our Fly-In in recognition of contributions to Giant Scale Modeling.
