The Propsnappers of Portland, Maine were established in 1963 to promote and encourage the hobby of building and flying radio controlled model airplanes. With nearly 70 members, the club operates a flying field on a capped landfill with a grass runway, a nice clubhouse with a deck and a solar charging station. The Propsnappers hold numerous fun fly events throughout the year, as well as two float fly events and a warbird event. They also hold flight lessons to help introduce new pilots to the world of aeromodeling.
