ABOUT THE CLUB

The Club of Aeromodelos of Chile (CACH) was founded on August 30 1949, by a group of officers and non-commissioned officers of the Chilean Air Force, along with civilians who shared a passion for scaled aircraft models.Over time, the club expanded its objectives to include other forms of dynamic modeling, incorporating helicopters, cars, gliders, and radio-controlled boats. More recently, the statutes were modified to encompass other sports, recreational activities, and hobbies in general. This led to the creation of the karting branch and the air gun shooting range.
