Suburban R/C Barnstormers |
|
Spring almost seems to be here with the oddly warm weather we've been having. But don't fear -- there's still plenty of indoor flying out at the dome! See the Indoor Season page for more details.
Plus, this is really a good time to prepare for Swap 'Til You Drop coming up April 7! Get all those dusty models out of the crawlspace and put them into play! More details here.

Suburban R/C Barnstormers, Inc. (SRCB) is an AMA (Chapter 640) and IMAA (Chapter 194) chartered 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:
...and much more. Come join us at an upcoming meeting or other event to see what we're about.
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.
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!

It seems that this site can't be rendered correctly on Google Chrome and Apple Safari web browsers. Apparently this problem is unique to the Apple rendering engine, which Google used for Chrome. I am still hunting for a solution.
Fortunately the site looks right under Windows on Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, and Seamonkey. I have not tested it recently on Linux browsers like Epiphany, Galeon, and Konqueror, but it seemed to work okay on those last time I checked.
