CLUB FLYING SITES

The Latrobe Valley Model Aero Club currently has 2 power Model flying sites and 2 Slope Gliding sites in the area from Traralgon to Drouin. Another site at the Blue Rock Dam is also under consideration but has a few restrictions and is not a good site for anyone who may be learning as most of the flying is done over the Lake facing into the sun. The roadway in & out can be affected by rain and may be boggy at times !

1 Lake Narracan near Moe/Newborough - This site is now the LVMAC's major flying Site and development began in 2000. It now has a 120m X 50m mowed grass strip and is suitable for Powered models and Thermal gliders. We also have a small beach and Jetty that is suitable to fly float planes from . There are 3 gates to go through and the first & third gates are normally locked. Club members can buy a key for access to this site (see the club secretary or treasurer). Parking space for major events is limited but no problem on normal weekends. Last one out should always lock the gates.

NOTE: No Model flying on days of total fire ban in the Eastern Region, at any of the Club Sites.

No Flying before 7.00am onWeek days and 9.00am on Weekends & Public Holidays

2 Tyers - A slope soaring site that we call NO PINE is located on the Tyers - Yallourn North Rd, above the old open cut mine. This is also private property and care should be taken when getting through the fence.

 3 Warragul - This site is on private property opposite the old drive-in site (which is now called the Lillico Garden Railway). Entry is up a laneway past the house and there are 2 gates to be left as found. This site is suitable for all powered models and Thermal gliders and is a little tight.(trees, etc) Noise is a problem here and self imposed restrictions are in force. Often there are cattle on this property so always shut the gates.

This land has been sold and is due for development in the very near future so our days of flying at this site are numbered. This site also has problems with access when it has been raining

NOTE: No flying on days of total fire ban in the Eastern Region, at any of our Club Sites.

4 Yarragon - Another slope soaring site called Kerrie Brae is in the hills above Yarragon and on private property. Excellent for Westerly to Northerly winds and some walking is required to reach the flying site.
