BCRCC members share a strong interest in all-things RC. While flying typical remote controlled, propeller driven airplanes (electric or fuel) may be the most common activity, many club members also enjoy flying electric ducted fan (EDF) jet aircraft, RC helicopters and multi-rotor aircraft, both line-of-sight and first-person view (FPV), gliders of all types (including powered), and running radio controlled boats, cars, and trucks.

Visitors are always welcome to stop by and watch. Don’t be afraid to say hello to pilots on the field and ask any questions you might have about RC flying. Club members will be happy to talk with you between flights and provide information that hopefully will stir your curiosity and get you thinking about learning to fly too.

Flight instruction from experienced club members is available to help new pilots to take their first BCRCC pilot-assisted flight. So if you are interested in trying your hand at flying, don’t hesitate to ask about it at the field or send us a message with your request using the form on the “Fight Instruction” page on our website.
