About
Tri-County RC Club of New Jersey
This club's primary activity is anything to do with Radio Control model
airplanes. Anything from a Giant Scale model to a store bought RC toy
can be seen at times.
We meet monthly at the East Brunswick Library on the last Thursday of
the month 8:00 PM - anyone is welcome to attend and
membership is open to all interested
parties. Please check our meeting dates since dates are subject
to change depending upon scheduling issues with the East Brunswick
Library.
We require membership in Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) since it
provides needed insurance for our program.
Dues are $25/year with an initiation fee of $50 upon joining.
Today members are known to be interested in all phases of the model
airplane hobby. Some build kits, others avail themselves of
all-ready-to-fly (ARF) and yet others 'play' with ready-to-fly (RTF)
models.
Our interests range from complicated warbirds with scale detail to
electric park flyers and everything in between including RC helicopters
too.
We are known to be beginner friendly meaning
that we have a group of members that will help individuals to learn to
fly and there are people in this club who would be more than pleased to
help you enjoy this hobby.
We have two members designated as AMA Intro Pilots who can give you an
introductory flight to see if you like it and we often have available a
club sponsored trainer airplane used by members as needed in the
training process.
There are several annual events including group flying, model building
contests, picnics and annual holiday dinner which is the social event of
the year.
Flying takes place either at Thomas Edison Park (behind Middlesex
Community College, Edison) and Heavenly Farms (East Brunswick park under
development) - watch the web site home page for latest activities and
come out and see what is going on.
Our club today consists of approximately 50 members. The membership is
open and ages range from youngsters with their parents in tow to elder
statesmen who are highly experienced. Many of the members have been
associated with this club for many years; however, there are always
newcomers and a constant inflow of new members.
