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 

we are currently having meetings via Zoom so contact Domecq for an email with the invite.

Our holiday party was again a great success with over 40 members and family attending.  We had some tasty food, great raffle gifts and a very nice slide show by Tony Rossi "2022 in review". As a bonus Domecq gave us a nice rendition on his piano of some popular tunes.

2022 Turkey Fly

 Well, it was a cold and blistery day, temperature was around 10 degrees with the wind chill, the wind was 25mph out of the north, but several members showed up and even flew for our 2022 Turkey fly.  Thanks to Peach Smith for her delicious Chili and everyone else that helped make this a successful event.  See ya at the Freeze Fly

FALL PICNIC

Once again, we had a great event, good flying, lots of food and lots of flying.  It's kind of sad seeing the fall season coming in knowing the flying season will be ending soon but bring in the building season!

 The event was a big success.  lots of pilots and thrills for the day.  thanks, Domecq, for Cd, Joan and Connie for the Pizza kitchen and everyone else who helped out and participated.  Thanks to the Larry Gray family for making, it a special day.  Look for the thrilling maiden and thrilling landing on one wheel of the Fokker DR VII.
