If you become a RC enthusiast, you will be happy to know there are others just as passionate. In this case, we are talking about RC Clubs

Quite often, people who share a common interest or hobby will band together to form a club. The idea is to interact with others to exchange information and to arrange competitions or activities appropriate to the hobby. The Remote Control hobby is no exception. Remote Control clubs flourish worldwide. In most cases, the Remote Control club will be dedicated to a specific area of the RC field. This might be a flying club or a boating club. Automobile and truck RC clubs generally sponsor racing events.

The best place to get information about Remote Control clubs in your area is through the associates at your local RC Hobby Shop. Many clubs will be sponsored by the Hobby shop. In many cases, the Hobby Shop will provide space for the club. This might include indoor racing areas for competitions. The Hobby Shop associates will often be members of local clubs themselves, even if the Shop is not affiliated with the club.

A second source for locating clubs is the internet. There are several websites that provide lists of various clubs complete with contact information. Many clubs are organized under national or even international associations. These groups generally have websites also that give listings of member clubs and their locations.

The RC Club is a great place to meet others that share your interest, but it is also a great place for a beginner to get a good start. It is not necessary to already be deeply involved in the RC hobby to benefit from a club membership. Teaching others the ins and outs of the hobby is one of the primary functions of most clubs. This is sometimes done informally with just the sharing of knowledge between the experienced and the inexperienced. Other times it is done with formal training sessions.

Competition is one of the functions of many RC clubs. This may consist of racing which can be done with planes and boats as well as cars and trucks. It may also consist of shows that recognize design and decoration as well as test skill in operation. A Remote controlled vehicle or toy can be fun alone. It is not necessary to share this fun with others if you do not wish to do so. It is not a requirement, by any means. Yet, many thousands of people have found that their enjoyment of the hobby is enhanced by sharing their experiences with others. If this idea appeals to you, the Remote Control Club is waiting.
