The Central Jersey Radio Control Club is a group of individuals
interested in all types of model airplanes,
sailplanes and helicopters.
The club has access to two fields,
Thomas Edison Park in Edison and
North Branch Park in Bridgewater.
The club meets monthly
at the Stelton Community Center on Plainfield Avenue in Edison,
or at the field in Edison.
Summer Meetings
Meetings
during the summer will be held at the field at 7PM
Newcomers
If you are interested in
getting started
in any aspect of model aircrafts,
you are encouraged to come to a
meeting or visit the
field
and talk to some of the members.
They can help you select a good plane to learn with,
as well as make sure it is built and flies properly.
Having an instructor will make learning to fly
much more enjoyable and significantly reduce the risk
of crashing.
Since membership with the
Academy of Aeronautics
is typically required for a field permit in any club,
it is strongly recommended that you visit the AMA web-site
and become a member as soon as possible.
You may also be interested in the
AMA District-II

Attention Park Flyers
Small electric park flyers are becoming very popular
and can be flown in very small fields.
However, the radio range is typically over 3 miles.
It is important for anyone using a radio to be aware of others
who may be flying within the range of the radio,
in order to prevent radio interference.
Radio interference results when two people
are using radios on the same frequency.
Radio interference can cause you, or someone else,
to lose control of their plane,
and not only cause the loss of the plane,
but a serious threat to the safety of others
that the plane could crash into!
While people may legally be allowed to fly
in school or other park fields,
it is essential for all hobbyists to coordinates
their activities to prevent radio frequency interference.
