SCRC Flying Site

With the permission and encouragement of the owner of Centre Airpark, Jack Garbrick, the State College Radio  Control Club (SCRC) has established and maintains an R/C flying site on the Centre Airpark airport property.  Visiting flyers and spectators are welcome at the flying site.  A portion of the active runway is used for the R/C runway.  The pit area is adjacent to the runway and and between the airport office and the runway.  Pilot stations are marked to insure safe separation of the radio systems.  Parking is for the pilots is located directly behind the pit area.  Spectators should park off the entry road to the right near the shed and trailer.
