The Tri County R/C Flyers is a non-profit Radio-controlled
model airplane club, formed to foster and promote the sport and hobby of
flying R/C models, and is chartered by the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA
- Charter 965). The club holds monthly meetings, and maintains an airfield
open to its members and their model aircraft.
The Club
With more than 15 members and
growing, Tri-County R/C Flyers has been in existence since the early 1970's.
Membership has dwindled because of the loss of the flying field we occupied
since the mid 1980's but we now have a new field at the Anderson airport and
are developing a second field.
Regular club meetings are held at the Anderson Airport terminal. The club
meetings are held on the 1st Thursday of the month from 6:00pm-7:00pm.
The club will maintain a R/C model
airfield
located in Anderson, South Carolina at the Anderson County Airport,
across the street from the main terminal.
The club has two designated
instructors who are available to teach beginners. This instruction is
offered free of charge by these members, in the spirit of promoting the
hobby to newcomers. Even club members who are not dedicated instructors are
always willing to lend a hand and extend advice to beginners.
New and prospective members are always
invited to attend the monthly meetings, and everyone is always welcome to
stop by the field and check out the action for themselves!
New members are always welcome to
join. The
club does require all members to hold a current membership with the
AMA.
Our normal weekly flying times are Tuesday and Saturday from about 10 am to
12 pm.
