About Us
Club Interests
Somerset RC is a multi-interest model airplane club. We have all types of aircraft including glow, gas, electric, scale, 3D, sport flying, and Pattern. The models vary in size from small electric to 40% gas. Unfortunately, turbines are not allowed. We all love to just come out, kick back, and spend some time, sharing stories with fellow modelers. We have several events for club members and offer free instruction to members. So, come on out and be a part of our club.
Meetings are 7:00 pm every last Tuesday of the month at
American Legion
707 legion Place
Middlesex, NJ 08846

2025 Big Birds
Thank you to all the members who came out on Thursday for the Big Bird event. We had close to 20 pilots and a handful of Combat flyers. Everyone had a good time. The weather stayed flyable and wouldn't you know it... all the TFR's were cancelled. Tony Rossi won the 50/50. I want to thank the folks who assisted with making Thursday a success. Joan Slein for the delicious brownies. Jack Amundsen for his transportation services and handling the drinks. Tony Rossi and Dave Szabo for helping with communications and spreading the word about Thursdays event. Dave R, Rich B, Bill H, also helped make the day a success. I'm glad we made the date change. It gave everyone a chance to get together for a nice event.

Here is the link to renew/register your airplane with the FAA. Every airplane is considered a drone by the FAA so when they say DRONE it applies to all. Use "Recreation" when you register/renew. Also, info about the AMA renewal/registration is in "Good Day Prospective Member" at the end of the page, under "Club Documents". just download the pdf.
