The Phoenix Model Airplane Club, originally founded as the Cacti Modelers Club in 1934 by Gaylord Webster, has a rich history in the hobby industry. What started as a small balsa wood business under Gaylord's bed eventually grew into a thriving hobby wholesaler, while his brother Quentin opened Webster's Hobby Shop. Over the years, the club merged with the Copperclad Eagles and became the Phoenix Model Airplane Club, with Quentin Webster playing a crucial role in its support and management. Today, the club's flying site, known as Webster's Field, continues to host events like the Southwest Regional Model Airplane Championships, showcasing the passion and dedication of model aviation enthusiasts. From its humble beginnings at Sky Harbor Airport in the 1930s to its current location at Cactus Airport, the Phoenix Model Airplane Club has been a hub for model flying in the Phoenix area. With a focus on free flight, control line, and radio control events, the club has organized and sponsored the Southwest Regional Model Airplane Championships, which have been held at various locations over the years. Thanks to the dedication of the Websters and the support of the Southwest Regionals Modelers Association, Inc., the contest has become an annual tradition, ensuring the continuation of this beloved hobby for years to come.Generated from the website
