The IRKS field is roughly in the south west corner of I 95 and SR528. West of Cocoa FL. The club members come mostly from southern Brevard county.
web is www.irks.org We are mostly a power club but include control line and sailplanes. We have had many sailplane contests on the southern part of the field which has lots of room. The “Gator F3B” originated here and the F3j team selects were held here (twice??). There is lots of room to fly but we are surrounded by woods outside of the encircling access road. Lots of planes have gone down in the trees. Most have been recovered. Right now I am getting grumpy because we have had buckets of rain each afternoon which makes the field too wet to fly and drive. The field is part of an active landfill which helps with maintenance and security. But access is carefully controlled. We welcome guests but entry procedures must be followed so a member must sign you in. Website has details. I am hoping for a good turnout for model aviation day this Saturday when everybody is welcome IF the field dries out!!
Best, Jim

West of Cocoa FL. The club members come mostly from southern Brevard

here (twice??). There is lots of room to fly but we are surrounded by
