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 Holiday Party
The Holiday Party was a great success. The Elk’s Lodge was a new venue for us and it seemed like everyone enjoyed the new atmosphere. Food was delicious, Tony’s annual year end video in review once again was a hit, and Domecq’s “Airplane Man” touched on the fun moments of flying at Northbranch.
Thank you to everyone who helps make our club successful and fun for all. Dave’s diner has been the mainstay of practically every event and this year Dave was our “Man of the Year” recipient. Our thanks to all his contributions to Somerset Signal Senders and Somerset RC.

2024 Opening Day
Our Opening Day had a great turnout. You couldn’t have asked for better weather. We had probably 20+ flyers during the day. Thanks to all the folks who helped out.
Two cadets, Adam Reitmeyer and Daniel Quisbert from Franklin HS, participated in the Flag raising ceremony. It looked like everyone had a good time.
