The Scale Flyers of Minnesota are dedicated to building/designing scale radio controlled model aircraft replicas of historic full-sized aircraft.  At our meetings (during the winter months) we share information on scale documentation, building and finishing techniques, new available products as well as various discussions on flying skills required in scale modeling.

Our club members have also gained the reputation of designing and building some of the most unique Scale & Giant Scale R/C Model Aircraft in our hobby.  This site captures that unique knowledge and presents it to you as a resource, reference and enjoyment.

Our site's contributing members have years of construction and design experience.  They're active in prestigious scale events such as Top Gun and the Scale Masters.  Additionally, you've seen their Designs, Kits & R/C Products highlighted in several National R/C Aircraft Publications.  Some of our members have also gone farther by providing proven aircraft designs (David P. Andersen) and products (Equinox R/C & Micko Aircraft), which are presented here for your review, download and purchase.

Thank you again for stopping by! Feel free to Contact Us if we can help you with your scale projects.  Also Join SFM, it's only $10.(US).
