About the Licking County Radio Control Club

 

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. One of our near goals is to be an identified Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) designated flying site which will adhere to the newly developed FAA requirements and guidelines.

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.
