The Radio Control Club of Detroit is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and advancement of model aviation as a hobby. We invite all types of RC model aviation supported by the AMA. The club currently promotes Scale, Giant Scale, Precision Aerobatics, Scale Aerobatics and 1/12th Scale W.W.II Combat with event status. We are proud to have top national competitors within our ranks. Our flying facility is located in Wetzel State Park. This state park is named after one of Michigan's thirteen Congressional Medal of Honor recipients. The Radio Control Club of Detroit constructed a War Memorial onsite and dedicated the facility "Wetzel Memorial Flying Field" on August 2nd, 1997. This state park is located in Lenox Twp. of Northern Macomb Co. Michigan. This is approximately 30 miles north of Detroit.

RCCD has been busy over the last few weeks. Here are a couple of featured pictures from 2 of our events: 1. At our joint fly-in with EAA Chapter 13, it seems we were too busy flying the full-scale planes to take pictures from the air! However, at least one of the Ch13 pilots did take a picture of Dave's Landing.
Grey Lane Picture.
2. RCCD members Darrell Rohrbeck and Sam Blaga have been on a team that was building a replica SPAD at the Selfridge Museum. The SPAD is now complete. For our June Ground School, we took a close look at this "full-scale model" and toured the museum. See the Oct 07 Newsletter for more on the SPAD construction.
