FLYING RC AIRCRAFT

When an airplane photo appears above this line the thumbnail pictures will begin appearing.
The "Flying Report" contains the latest flying club photo's.

Flying at Holland Park:

If you live near Houston, consider flying your RC aircraft at Texas City’s Holland Park, SE of Dickenson, Texas.

Holland Park, has two grass runways that are quite long, and well maintained. It has a large covered patio area with tables, setup platforms for aircraft maintenance, portable toilet facilities, a concession building, and a grandstand. To fly there you must be an AMA member, and preferably a member of the Texas City Radio Control Club (TCRCC). If you are not yet a pilot, volunteer instructors are available within the club. The club normally meets at the Nessler Center, in Texas City, on the last Thursday of each month at 7:30 pm. Come and join us. Back to Flying Menu

Flying Report or What's UP!:

My qualifications to write about RC flying include the fact that every airplane that I have managed to get off of the ground has come back down, and I have found all but one of them.

I am going to post aircraft action (people included) pictures and refresh them periodically. Each one will have a caption. If you have a suggestion for a revised caption, or a new picture with a caption, e-mail it to me and if I post it I will give you credit.. I prefer that the picture contain a person, along with an airplane, helicopter, or transmitter (unless the aircraft is flying). I am limiting my total number of pictures; so a photo will have to go as one is added.

SERIOUS BUSINESS!

PLEASE NO BACKFIRE

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Tim and Charlie ponder, whether Brian would be able to fly this plane.
They don‘t know he is watching.

NOPE!
Tim and Charlie agree that it would be a total disaster if Brian tried to fly this plane.
