About The Club
The
Mercer County Radio Control Society is a chartered club (#422) of the
Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA). Our focus is radio
controlled flying models, and the range of models we fly is quite
broad, extending from small electric foam planes through giant-scale
models with wingspans as great as nineteen feet. We have been an
organized club for over 50 years and fly at Warren Kruse Field on the
edge of Lake Assunpink in the Assunpink Wildlife Management Area near
Imlaystown, NJ off of I-195 Exit 11.
We meet once per month on
Wednesday evenings at 7:00 pm, most often at the Cranbury Public Library located at 30 Park Place West in Cranbury, NJ. During the summer months we meet at the flying field
at 7pm. Check the calendar on this website for dates, locations and directions.

Membership
is open to anyone who would like to fly radio controlled airplanes.
Currently we have about 85 members residing across most of central New
Jersey and part of Pennsylvania. If you are new to the sport, come by
the field any Saturday or Sunday afternoon to see what this sport is
about and talk with some of our skilled pilots. We also encourage
anyone to come to one of our events or just stop in at one of our
meetings. Both newbies and experienced flyers are welcome. We
encourage prospective members, who are AMA members, to fly as guests at
our field, as long as they are accompanied by a current club member. If
you like what you see and you are a current AMA member, you can apply
for membership.

You
will see from our website that ours is an active club, sponsoring
several events each year. Our Jumbo Jamboree is a giant-scale air show,
the proceeds of which are donated to the Sunshine Foundation.
