"Good friends and Great flying"

History of the Leatherstocking RC Buzzards


The LeatherStocking RC Buzzards was started in 2003 by Al Kanser. The Buzzards call the Gilbertsville Polo Fields Home. With an 125 foot wide runway over 825 feet in length is provides plenty of room to fly almost anything.  One look at this beautiful field and you can see why pilots all across the United Stated have come to fly with the Buzzards and friends.  On any given Tuesday and Thursday you will find the field abuzz with giant scale gasoline engines, glow engines, helicopters, electric foamies, kites or just about anything that flies.  The field is an open AMA field at the request of the owners.  The only requirements at the field  are that pilots follow all AMA safety rules and when you leave the field is in better condition that when you arrived.  Al Kanser takes great pride in keeping the runway mowed and groomed to perfection.  

Official Colors


At RC events across the country you may see the bright lime green t-shirts worn by the LeatherStocking RC Buzzards.  These shirts are a prized possession to the members of the Buzzards.
