The Club is for anyone interested in flying Model Planes or Helicopters, especially in the Derbyshire, Cheshire or Staffordshire areas of the UK.
High Peak Model Aero Club has a membership with an age range of 11 to 70+, drawn from a radius of about 25 miles around Buxton in Derbyshire. The sport is an all-the-year-round activity involving building skills, engineering and electronics and some computer control together with flying skills on models, which are controlled and flown in the same way as their full size equivalents

A good number of members hold BMFA qualifications at "A" and "B" level and we have four BMFA Examiners as Club Members. We have some fun Competitions for spins, loops and spot landings.We have helicopter competitions for the advanced rotary wing flying. Three of our helicopter fliers competed in the Schluter Cup at Market Bosworth in 1998. And the latest craze in the Club is slope flying the EPP "rubber" models in "combat flying" - they bounce! The key things about flying with us are enjoying yourself in whichever type of flying interests you but doing it.

We are able to provide advice for newcomers to the sport in all aspects of building and equipping models, buying equipment, and when ready for the air, training in flying with Club instructors who have access to transmitters with "Buddy Leads". This enables newcomers to have early "hands on experience" of model flying . Our first advice, if you are interested, is to visit our site at High Edge, any Wednesday or Sunday. Just turn up and say to someone - "we'd like to know more about model aircraft flying". Club members will be delighted to explain how it all works! Bring a print of this page with you and we will know how you found out about us. Alternatively, call in for a chat at our monthly meetings at the Railway Hotel in Buxton - 8.00pm on the first Monday each month. If you decide you would like to get involved, new members are always welcome.
