Radio Controlled (RC) Aircraft Show

See Them Climb, Dive, Pitch & Roll... 

Boring Holes in the Sky!

The Blue Ridge Radio Control Club (BRRC), Western Carolina Radio Control Club (WCRC) & Firetower Fliers will be performing at a free-to-attend 
Radio Controlled (RC) Aircraft Show.  
This soaring "Over-the-Top" RC aerobatic event will feature airplanes and helicopters that are capable of flying up to 200 miles per hour, and range in weight from 1 ounce to over 55 pounds.  Come see these unmanned aerial vehicles do high frequency touch-and-gos, figure 8's, hover, slow roll, fly inverted and do all sorts of other cool maneuvers in unusual traffic patterns.  This family friendly event can be seen from our new free-to-use public park, so bring out your chairs or blankets to sit on and enjoy the show; or watch it while having lunch at the Runway Cafe.  BRRC will raffle off a great trainer plane with flying lessons (a $600 value), and will also allow people several turns to try and hit some special planes with paint balls for just $5.  All funds raised will be used to help complete the new Community Aviation Themed park at GMU.
