Bay Area Radio Control Society (BARCS)

Bay Area Radio Control Society (BARCS) Radio Control Modeling is a highly rewarding and educational activity for people of all ages. Space to safely practice it is limited.

Breuner Marsh field in Richmond is one of the very few places in the Bay Area to practice it without having to drive over 160 miles round trip. The Bay Area Radio Control Society (BARCS) - a non profit organization - has been flying from this site for over 30 years. During this time, not only have hundreds of members benefited from enjoying this hobby but BARCS has also been a paying tenant, an e

xcellent steward of the land, providing maintenance, public bathrooms and keeping people from dumping or sleeping in the area. Unfortunately, the EBRPD has unilaterally decided to evict BARCS from Breuner Marsh without an alternative plan. This means that RC modelling in the East Bay will be virtually inaccesible for most people, especially kids and the elderly. We ask from the EBRPD to reevaluate their decision to evict BARCS and to come up with alternative plans where Model Aviation and a park can coexist.

Has anyone heard of drag? How about retractable landing gear? The doors for the retract are there but they aren't retracted? Oh, I love the struts to the observation deck on the empennage, can anyone say induced drag? How about a price estimate???

Joe writes, “Steering and two rudder servos work independently. The differential is electronic and the rudders can turn inward, acting as air brakes.” The Vortex uses 48-ounce Futaba 3102 servos, Spektrum radio, and 6S battery pack.
