Suburban R/C Barnstormers, Inc. (SRCB) is an AMA chartered (Chapter 640) model aviation club over 100 members strong. Our emphasis is on radio-controlled aircraft of all types and sizes -– from indoor flight to giant scale; fixed wing and helicopters; scratch built and Ready-To-Fly. We fly 'em all!
SRCB have been bringing radio control model aircraft hobbyists together in northeastern Illinois, mainly suburban Chicago, for many years. Our members participate in regular monthly meetings and club flying events plus a variety of special activities throughout the year. We range in age and modeling experience from toddler through elderly and from complete beginners through advanced model designers, builders, and pilots. Whatever your model aircraft interests or skill level, you'll find a welcome home at SRCB.
Some of our regular activities include the following:
- monthly meetings
- regular fun-fly events
- new pilot training
- annual swap meet
...and much more. Come join us at an upcoming meeting or other event to see what we're about.
Fly With a Like-Minded Crowd
SRCB members design, build, and fly fuel and electric airplanes and helicopters of all sizes, shapes, and description. We have members who stick with Ready-To-Fly models and members who scratch build their own planes all the way down to the landing gear struts. No matter what your interest in R/C model aviation is you'll find somebody who shares your passion at SRCB.
Open To Anyone
SRCB welcomes anyone interested in R/C aviation to join us (AMA membership required). You may have flown control line or free flight as a kid. You may be discovering R/C for the first time. You may not even own any aircraft, but are just interested in the hobby. Come talk to us and see if SRCB is the place for you.
To join our club you can print up and mail in the handy online membership application. For more information you can email us at info@suburbanrcbarnstormers.com . Or if you prefer you can contact someone on our contacts list to get information on a specific topic. We look forward to seeing you and talking R/C aircraft!
Hello. I am Marty Schrader, your new SRCB webmaster. This is the New! IMPROVED!! site for SRCB. You will notice that the site has a completely new look and feel. Some of the content and functionality from the old site has not been transferred yet, but that's coming.
Additionally, there is a lot of new functionality that we intend to add to our site such as member-supplied pictures and other content, dynamic content provided by other clubs and online sources, and some fun stuff that we're working out even yet. Stay tuned.
The intention of the Board has been to centralize the club's information distribution and to draw together to one place the scattered announcements, pictures, discussion, and other Internet elements that have surrounded SRCB news and events. Thusly, SRCB will still have pictures on Facebook and announcements on RCGroups, etc., but these will always be supplemental to the primary sources contained on this site.
Of course the newsletter will continue to have the latest official information at the time of print, but this web site will be the single source of official Internet news and information about club events. Think of it as The Transmitter online, with all the features that can't be put into a printed form.
There are certain visual design elements of this site that will be undergoing change in the weeks to come. Please bear with me as I make alterations to improve the appearance and functionality of the site. Of course, should you like to make suggestions to improve the site then please contact me through the club's email.
The club wishes to thank Scott Barrie for creating and maintaining the previous version of this site. I blatantly ripped off plenty of Scott's work in creating this version.
