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.
we are currently having meetings via Zoom so contact Domecq for an email with the invite.
Meetings are 7:00 pm every last Tuesday of the month at:
American Legion Post 306
707 Legion Place
Middlesex, NJ 08846

FALL PICNIC
Once again we had a great event, good flying, lots of food and a fun club pattern event run by Earnie. 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!

ELECTRIC FLY
Dear Members,
We had a terrific E-Fly at North Branch yesterday. We had 21 registered pilots, not including fabulous membership and spectators that came out just to watch.

We thank our Vice President Jim Vigani for running the event, and for our Executive Board for their efforts in ensuring the event was set up and ran smoothly.
Thanks to Dave Rollino for our Food Court.
It is a Somerset RC signature feature found at our events, and nowhere else.
Thanks to Jim Vigani for his charging station that kept batteries charged flight after flight.
Thanks to Tony Rossi for bringing out his sound system.
And thanks to Dave Szabo for running registrations, 50/50 and our raffle.
Cheers to Somerset RC.
Domecq Smith
President, Somerset RC
