When it comes to communities with RC airplanes, On Top of the World is it. As the leader in 55+ amenities and recreational activities in Florida, R/C flying enthusiasts who call On Top of the World home, will enjoy our private R/C flying field. The field has a 600′ x 50′ foot asphalt runway and an adjacent 600′ x 50′ grass runway, and a large pavilion where spectators can comfortably watch the action and enjoy the beautiful and scenic pastoral view.

Founded by seven OTOW residents more than 20 years ago, the R/C Flyers Club has become one of the nation’s largest model-aircraft groups with more than 170 members.

Affiliated with the International Miniature Aircraft Association (IMAA) and the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA), the airfield has FAA-Recognized Identification Area (FRIA) status, permitting flight without the need for Remote ID equipment.

The On Top of the World R/C Flyers Club has drawn model-aircraft enthusiasts from across the country to live at On Top of the World Communities. The reasons are clear:
