About Us

Hampton Roads Radio Control Club is an organization made up of people in all professions who enjoy the challenge of building and flying radio controlled aircraft and who enjoy sharing ideas and experiences with others in the hobby/sport of RC.

Our club was organized and chartered in May 1977 and our purpose is to provide beginners with assistance in construction and flying RC aircraft, to obtain and maintain a safe and convenient local flying site, to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences in modeling, and to promote and advance the hobby/sport of flying RC airplanes. There are currently 114 members on the club's roster.

The runway is 150 feet in a 900 foot grass area. Spectators are always welcome to come to the field to observe and ask questions. Primary fly days are Saturdays, Sundays and Wednesdays.
