SPARKSRC At A Glance
WHO WE ARE
Like radio control model aircraft? Well, if you do you’ve come to the right place. This is the web site of the Spring Area Radio Kontrol Society (SPARKS). We are a private club that maintains a field in the suburbs of northwest Houston, TX. We are dedicated to furthering the knowledge of model aeronautics and providing a safe and pleasurable experience through recreation and fellowship of its members and their families. The club membership is diverse. We have builders, flyers, fixed wing, helicopters, gliders, quads and even a few aircraft that are tough to classify!

Hours of operation follow Dyess Park Hours.
THE FIELD
The field has recently been upgraded with a 450' x 28' paved center section. The whole field is nearly 1000' long and over 100' feet wide. The grass section is irrigated and mowed weekly. The gated field is generally open to certified members and their guests during daylight hours. There are men’s and women’s restrooms onsite as well as water, electricity and lighting under our 80’X25′ covered pit area. The field has five protected flying stations, more than a dozen tables, and a long chain-link fence designed to limit accidental spectator access to the runway.
COME AND SEE
What’s more, you’ll feel right at home at SPARKS’ field regardless of your skill level. On any given weekend you’ll be greeted by friendly people that represent the gamut from beginner to seasoned instructor and everything in between.
