Past Events
The Central NC RC Flying Clubs 2025 season has started off with a BANG. The two images below were taken at the Spring IMAC Challenge put on by the Winston Salem Radio Control Club on 4-5 April.
Below are two images taken at the Spring Fun Fly put on by the Greensboro Radio Aeromodelers on 12 April. The large yellow model with three Aeromodelers working on it was built by a team from North Carolina A&T, and competes in payload competitions. Yes, that fuselage was made using an aluminum downspout.
These two images were taken on 19 April at the 8th Annual Spring Fling - Fly what you bring - Swap-N-Shop put on by the Central Carolina RC Modelers. The wind was blowing pretty good, but it did not stop these dedicated Aeromodelers from flying a couple real nice models. The lunch the club served was great too! CCRC has a very nice flying field.
