Townsville Radio Aeronautical Control Society
Welcome to the official web site of the Townsville Radio Aeronautical Control Society (TRACS). We are a radio control model aeronautics club, whose goal is to promote and enjoy safe flying of RC model aircraft and to encourage the interest of the members of the club and people of the community in design, construction and safe operation of radio-controlled model aircraft, so we can all enjoy the pleasures and satisfaction these hobbies bring.
While we are overwhelmingly a sport-flyers club, our members and guests enjoy everything from trainers to scale models. We would like to encourage anyone to come out to fly with us as guest flyers are always welcome. The club is made up of model airplane and helicopter enthusiast of every age and background. The only common thread is the love of aviation in general and radio control models in particular. Our leanings are more social than competition. We do not hold formal contests but have "Fly-In" and Fun Fly type events. A typical day at the field will see 20 modellers with planes and helicopters in the pits, 2 or 3 flying, and the rest relaxing ”encouraging" landing pilots. Winter flying finds the field at its most active.

Field Access During Construction For Visitors
Important message for visitors and prospective members
During the construction of the new Port Access Road, the Main Roads Department has placed a locked gate at the start of the entry to the road that accesses TRACS airfield. In order to obtain access, all new members need to obtain a key from the Treasurer - cost $20. Guests and visitors who wish to access the club will need to contact one of the committee or other members to arrange a time to meet at the gate to gain entry. This is a temporary arrangement until the new road is completed. The club apologies for any inconvenience that this arrangement may cause.
