Welcome

to the home of the Staten Island Radio Control Modelers (SIRCM).  We have put this site together for Members, Family, Friends and everyone who has an interest in Radio Control Modeling (R/C).  Although much of what you will see is about R/C Aeromodeling, our members' interests span the spectrum from R/C Cars, Boats, Planes, and almost anything you can put a receiver into and make it move.  The members of the SIRCM enjoy the friendship of fellow modelers and time to getaway from the everyday and be a kid again.  Our members range in age from their teens to their late 80's.

Friends, Family and of cause New Members are always welcome.  If you would like to stop by and visit our field or come to one of our monthly meetings to find out what the SIRCM are all about click the Directions link to find us.  We are a family oriented club with a long history, so all are welcome.  SIRCM has also been named on of a few TAG clubs in New York State.  Takeoff And Go (TAG) enables newcomers to experience R/C Flying without having to invest anything but a little time.  You will Fly with one of our Instructors on what is called a Buddy Box System with one of the Clubs Trainers.  With a little pre-takeoff instruction you will be in the air in no time.  This program is open to Everyone, young and old.  For more information click the Join Link to the Left.

Our next meeting is April 29, 2008.  That means it is time for our annual Static Show.  Members and family are all invited.  This is always one of our biggest turnouts.  Judging will be held in three (3) categories, SCALE, SPORT and ARF and Best of Show will also be awarded.  So get those finishing touches completed.  Entry Forms will be available shortly.  On April 19, 2008 The SIRCM will host a Senior Pattern Primer .  The event is open to All Club Members.  John Palestro is the Event Coordinator.  E-Mail John, by clicking his name, to pre-register and ask any questions.  More information click the link above.  On April 27, 2008 the SIRCM will be taking part in the Brooklyn Flyers Swap Meet and Flea Market.  The event will be taking place in Brooklyn on 86th Street and 13th Avenue.  Click here for more information.

Site Updates:  I have added MANY new events for 2008 to the Calendar Page along with some New Links to the Links Page.  If you have any other Events or Links you would like to see listed please e-mail them to me and let me know.

Yearly dues are due.  If you have not yet paid your dues or need to make special arrangements, please contact Jon Gerber via e-mail by click his name.  You WILL NOT be permitted to fly unless you are current on your Club Dues.

As always, we would like to thank you for stopping by and hope you enjoy your time here with us.  View our Links section to see some of the other clubs and organizations we associate ourselves with and to get some more insight to the wonderful world of R/C Modeling.
