Suburban R/C Barnstormers, Inc. (SRCB) is an AMA (Chapter 640) chartered model
aviation club with a deep history. Our emphasis is on radio-controlled aircraft
of all types and sizes — from indoor flight to giant scale; fixed wing,
helicopters, and multirotors; scratch built and Ready-To-Fly. We fly 'em
all!
SRCB have been bringing radio control model aircraft hobbyists together in
northeastern Illinois, mainly suburban Chicago, for many years. Our members
participate in scheduled "in-person" meetings and club events plus a variety of
special activities throughout the year. We range in age and modeling experience
from beginners through advanced model designers, builders, and pilots. Whatever
your model aircraft interests or skill level, you'll find a welcome home at SRCB
.
Just getting into the hobby and need some help or advice? Our members are
very friendly and are always willing to lend a helping hand. We even have
instructors that can teach you to fly! Check out our
Flight Instruction page for the instructor's email address.
Multiple Flying Venues
SRCB supports two FRIA-approved flying fields where our members fly at. You are welcome to join us!

- Bimonthly meetings (once every two months, Winter months at Itasca Library, summer months at PWW, check latest Newsletter for details)
- Scheduled Fun-fly events

...and much more. Come join us at an upcoming meeting or other event to see what

A Passion for Flying
SRCB members design, build, and fly fuel and electric airplanes and
helicopters of all sizes, shapes, and description. We have members who stick
with Ready-To-Fly models and members who scratch build their own planes. No
matter what your interest is in R/C model aviation you'll find somebody who
shares your passion at SRCB.
All Are Welcome
SRCB welcomes anyone interested in R/C aviation to join us. (Note that AMA
membership is required to fly at club events held at our FRIA-approved fields.)
You may have flown control line or free flight as a kid. You may be discovering
R/C for the first time. You may not even own any aircraft, but are just
interested in the hobby. Come talk to us and see if SRCB is the place for
you.
To join our club you can print up and mail in the handy online membership application. For more information you can

We look forward to seeing you and talking R/C aircraft!
