Got Model Airplane Blues?
If you don't already, you can get it now! Chester County RC's exclusive theme song, Jerry Hale's "Smashing Up Your Model Airplane Blues", (Right click, Save As... File is 4.7 MB) a humorous ballad describing some of the frustrations of this otherwise very rewarding hobby. Some verses are inspired by CCRC weekday morning fliers!

Sisk Field Entrance

Members - The only entrance and exit for Sisk field is the driveway for house number 365 off Route 82. Please refrain from using Jim Sisk's driveway to access the field. The path to the field is an asphalt paved road with a maximum speed limit of 5 MPH.

Flight Training

Don't just buy an airplane, take it to a park, and think that you'll be able to safely fly it! We offer free flight training to new RC pilots with a paid membership. We'll train you as long as it takes for you to fly on your own. Bring your own plane to our Sisk (Coatesville) field on any given Saturday morning at 10:00 AM for free flying lessons

Attention CCRC Club Members : CCRC is Expanding !

Our club is currently in the early stages of developing a second flying site in West Bradford Township in Chester County. The site is similar in size to our existing field and a small area has been cleared so we can evaluate the best placement and orientation for a landing strip. The field is close by our existing field but not close enough that we will have radio frequency interference between them. Please click this link for some photos.
More information will be available to club members as things progress.
