Take to the skies.
Welcome to the Licking County Radio Control Club!
Radio Control airplanes, helicopters, drones, cars, and boats are an exciting and fulfilling hobby that everyone can enjoy. Our club is geared to the flying aspect of the hobby and we welcome you to join our club, whether you are new to the hobby or a experienced pilot! You can also find us here on Facebook.
Who We Are
The Licking County Radio Control Club was founded in 1962 by a group of people who were interested in the hobby of Radio Controlled models. The club primarily focused on various forms of airplanes but that has changed over time as the electronics and materials have evolved. Our club members build and fly R/C airplanes, helicopters, quadcopters, drones, and so much more. The LCRCC is an active and engaged community of RC enthusiasts, with a strong commitment to promoting safe and responsible flying practices.
Our Values & Goals
We are an inclusive club and welcome all members. We strive to promote the hobby and to create a fun & inviting atmosphere for all. We will continue to evolve and adapt to be a self sustaining organization well into the future.
The club welcomes pilots of all skill levels, from beginners to experienced fliers. The LCRCC offers flight instruction and training for new pilots, as well as a supportive community for experienced pilots to connect with and learn from one another. In addition, the club hosts regular events and competitions throughout the year, including fun-flys, and other special events.
