Question: How Do I Find a Local RC Club?
Joining an RC club in your area is not a prerequisite for enjoying the hobby of radio controlled vehicles but it is a great way to meet other RC hobby enthusiasts.
Answer: Associates at your local hobby shop can usually point you to a local RC club. The stores are often actively involved in any organization devoted to radio controlled vehicles through RC club or race sponsorship or providing tracks or airfield space. Store associates are often members of local RC clubs and can give you contact and meeting information. Also, check the Website for your local hobby shop for links to local RC clubs.
