We just finished making some needed changes to our website and wanted to let everyone know. MARCS now has dedicated Photos and Videos pages. This will also make the Club News section easier to find updates about the club. The menu bar on the site will look like this going forward.

More changes coming this week include updates to the event calendar and for members . . . those long awaited meeting minutes from the past few months!

Also . . . if you have any MARCS related photos that you would like to share and have added to our site please email them to mentorrc@gmail.com.

Long Grass No More

July 14, 2019November 26, 2019 MARCS RC Club

The mystical brush hog has finally made its way to Ken Page Field and MARCS members can now fetch their downed airplanes without threat of damage to their shins. More mowing should be happening this week but we now have the required room for the Midwest Showdown quad race later this month. We’ll be posting some aerial shots and fly-by video soon.

A New Trainer Airplane for MARCS

May 27, 2019 MARCS RC Club

Recently MARCS had someone donate a Great Planes/Tower Hobbies PT-40 to the club. We weren’t sure if it had ever been flown but we did know it was in storage for a while. Our club president Marc refurbished the engine and did a little body work. Today we got to fire it up for the first time.

This airplane will be used to train new pilots and will be available to fly with a buddy box during our annual memorial fun fly on June 2nd.
