The event location is at the club's 'Tower Field' just south west of Villanova High School. There will be signs posted on the road intersections close to the high school to help visitors find the field.
Background
Model Aviation has been an active sport since the 1930's and has often been noted as the starting point for many professional engineers, scientists, technicians, pilots and even astronauts. Since the 1960's, experimenters have harnessed radio control technology to create ever more sophisticated and capable model aircraft. Over the last decade, fully electric power has evolved to supplement the fuel engines and gliders that are still very popular options.
