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

On Sunday, June 14th, CCRC participated in the 38th annual New Garden Air Show in Kennett Square. The weather was perfect and the show was very well attended. We had great success due to our great static display, Jason Young's daring and amazing 3D aerobatic demonstration flight with his 100cc Extra 260, and President Eric Stein's keen PR skills. There are many photos posted in a new album in the gallery. Thanks very much to all who volunteered, including Eric, Jason, Dave Rung, Lamont, and Joe Secunda, (and our family members who helped out too).

Work is still progressing on our second field. Strasburg Field has been staked out, rolled and will be cut again in the near future.
Please click this link for the new field gallery with updated photos.

More information will be available to club members as things progress.
