SCRC Club Events Overview

SCRC holds several annual events where the Club members participate as a group. These activities are, in general, designed to encourage and spread the model airplane hobby. The hobby involves construction skills as well as flying skills. It further involves each person in the technical areas of mechanics, electronics, and aerodynamics. The activities and their specific purposes are described below.

Model Aircraft Air Show

• SCRC club members, with the help of neighboring R/C club members, hold an R/C model aircraft show each summer at the SCRC flying field. The show features a wide variety of model aircraft flying demonstrations and a static exhibit of many more Model aircraft. Club members, equipped with trainer airplanes and dual control radios, offer interested spectators, especially younger enthusiasts, a chance to fly an R/C airplane. The assistance of an experienced pilot on the master control box prevents possible damage to the model airplane by the inexperienced flyer.

This event, in addition to providing the club members a chance to show off their models, is a rare opportunity for the public to observe many of the varied aspects of the model aircraft hobby.

SCRC Fun Fly

Each year, the SCRC club members set aside one Sunday in June that is devoted to getting the club members together as a group to share their Model Aircraft interests and experiences.  A food concession is set up by the club members so that the members and their families can spend the full afternoon at the flying field if they so desire.  In addition to the flying activity, many discussions ensue on the construction, trimming, and flying of the many model types that the members have.
