About Us

The Plane Crazy R/C'ers Club (PCRC) is one of the most successful R/C clubs in the northern Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Founded in 1987, the club has an active and dynamic membership that flies all kinds of R/C aircraft and some helicopters. From the new ARF "Park Flyers" to an ever-growing variety of small and large electric-powered aircraft, to virtually every type of small to very large piston-powered aircraft – including trainers, sport, scale, aerobatic, and ¼ scale aircraft – the club's members are a friendly group that always welcome new members and visitors from other clubs. PCRC is Charted Club #2681 with the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA).

PCRC Club membership is $100.00 annually for adults. Dues for new members will be prorated to include only the months remaining in their first year. All members are required to also be members of the AMA. Membership in the PCRC club entitles a new member to full use of the private club flying field, participation in club sponsored events, and receipt of free instruction (if needed) by a PCRC Certified Instructor. The PCRC club holds regular membership meetings on the 3rd Monday of each month, and an annual membership Banquet in January each year. See the "Membership" page for information on joining the club.

Access to the club's primary flying site is just east of Winchester at 306 Sulphur Spring Rd, a quarter mile from the intersection with Rt. 50. The site has been used by the club since 1991. It has two close-cropped grass runways, with a fenced pit area and shelter. Visitors are always welcome to come by the site when the gate is open and meet some of our members.
