What is the M.A.R.K.S. Club?

M.A.R.K.S. stands for Miniature Aircraft Radio Kontrol Society (AMA Charter 133) - Behind this name there is an active RC Model club that is located in the San Bernardino - Redlands - Highland area in Southern California. Currently we have one main flying field but also some additional places where we fly our models, ranging from electric slow fliers, scale and IMAC planes, pylon racers, over helicopters and 3D planes to turbine powered jets.

Photo of the Moment
The "Photo of the Moment" is a new section on our webpage. - If you have encountered something special in context with your club activities send an image with some text to our webmaster and we will post it as quickly as possible. The goal is to have a new picture here every few days. Anything club or RC flying related goes!
Another Step - Our Shade is at Greenspot

Last week we have moved our new container to Greenspot - this week we did the same with DJ's old shade structure that was stored for many years at Rondy's Glass in San Bernardino (Thanks!). Like the previous operations the transfer went smooth and quick. We were hauling everything with Rick's 16' trailer and got a lot of help from members that were enjoying the perfect Sunday flying weather. - Thanks guys.

6-28-2008: Hydrological Study in Greenspot!

For the next 2 to 6 weeks you will see more activity around our Greenspot field. This is due to a project of the SBVWCD aiming to make an accurate assessment of the Geology and Hydrology beneath the burrow pit.

At one point they (MWH Americas, Inc.) will be drilling a well in the area where we fly - During that time there will be absolutely no flying at the field! as this would be too dangerous for the work crews. (Mon - Fri, 6:30 - 16:00) - As soon as we know the schedule we will post it and send out an e-mail. Please refer to our e-mail in this context for more detailed information as well as for the do's and don’ts during this time or send a question to president@rcmarks.org. - Thanks
