Welcome to The Club
Our Mission Statement
- The Tuscarora R/C Club was formed with the vision of a club where a person could bring their family and friends for a day of fun or flying, learn to fly model RC aircraft, or just enjoy watching others fly their planes. Part of The Tuscarora R/C Club’s mission is to train people to safely and enjoyably fly their model aircraft and to be able to give back to the community that has supported us by working with the youth groups and sponsoring charity events. We support Academy of Model Aeronautics and encourage membership in the organization. All of our members must belong to AMA for safety and insurance.
Our First 50 Years of Service
Now that the Tuscarora R/C Flying Club enters its 50th year anniversary of model building, flying or teaching, it’s time for celebration and reflection.
We celebrate the achievements over the years and of those yet to come in the years ahead. The Tuscarora R/C Flying Club is where anyone can bring their family and friends for a day of fun or flying. Here you can learn to fly model R/C aircraft or just enjoy watching others fly their planes, helicopters, or drones. Our mission is to be able to give back to the community that has supported us when working with youth groups or sponsoring charity events.
It is fitting to remember, with affection, the contribution and experience of those who are members and those who have passed on or unable to join us today for any reason.
We all reflect about the immense rewards of working with like-minded people and of the friendships made through a common passion of aviation.
'No man is an Island'. When we achieve, we usually do so because others who have helped. Thank you for staying even if you had every reason to leave. Thank you for making it easier when life gets hard. Thank you for those considering becoming a member.
Our Vision
The Tuscarora R/C Club was formed with the vision of having a club where a person could bring their family and friends together for a day of fun or flying, learn to fly model RC aircraft, or just enjoy watching others fly their planes.

everything you wanted to know about drones
My name is Mark Sheehan. I run My Drone Authority. I know not all aeromodelers are interested in drones, but just in case some of your club members are, I put together something that might offer them a lot of guidance. It's an in-depth 10,000-word guide for people looking to purchase a drone. I put in over 40 hours of work in an attempt to make it one of the best guides on the web. It goes goes over the right features to pay attention to safety precautions, licenses to fly a drone in certain countries, and a lot more. So far, a lot of people have found it useful :-)

Spray Paint RC Model Airplanes Made it Easy
One of the important tasks you need to do correctly while building a giant scale airplane is to produce a smooth and flowing outer surface to apply your finish and paint too. There’s an old saying that a fair paint job applied to a superior surface will look much better than a great paint job applied to an inferior surface.

Spray Paint RC Model Airplanes Made it Easy
Here’s a great workshop technique from editor Gerry Yarrish’s workshop. Today,painting your model airplane with “rattle can” spray paint is a less expensive alternative than using an air compressor and an automotive touch-up gun rig. Spray paint is a convenient and simple way to finish those formed parts, but unless you take the time to prepare them, your new paint job can peel or chip away after only a few flights. Here’s a surefire way to achieve a long-lasting, attractive paint job with a minimum of effort.

Night flying is a great recruiting tool for your local flying group. Several of our club found us when we were night flying. We have also noticed that the women love to watch us flying at night and are much more impressed with RC at night than when we are flying the same planes in the day. We have heard may wives tell their husbands that he should get one of these.
