Perth RC Heli Club

PRCHC

                 Welcome to the PRCHC website

  

      Thanks for visiting!
We welcome all club members and prospective members.

This is the official Perth RC Heli Club website where you'll find all sorts of information about the club and the RC community both here in Perth and throughout the world.

At the club you will find all sorts of machines ranging from scale turbine models to 60 and 90 size models and of course many popular beginner models. Our club offers both new and experienced pilots a great environment where you can share with others your interests of RC helicopters. We have a range of members that can help guide and give invaluable knowledge to other members, some of Australia's top pilots are members of the Perth RCHeli Club. To add to this we have a great central location with a huge field and safe and secure parking.

But its not just about coming down and flying your model, the club holds regular activities that ensure a great day for all.For example, we raffled off a an introductory training flight in a full size Bell 47 and one lucky club member got their first chance to experience flying a full size machine. Of course to make a day of it all the club members were invited to HeliWest in Jandakot for a BBQ. We all got the chance to inspect Heli West's fleet of helicopters and later watched some club members and then the lucky winner take off in the Bell 47.

New to RC Helis?

If you are thinking of buying an RC heli, you are probably aware that there are many questions that need answers. Different machines offer different benefits to the pilot, and of course only you will know the one that best suited to you (with plenty of help from us of course). Don't be afraid to take the plunge you'll get plenty of help from us, you may feel your getting scared off with the thought of crashes and a big learning curve (I must admit all that new information can be a bit daunting, but its also a lot of fun), But don't worry we can help you out and you can learn from our mistakes. Crashes are rare and when they do occur are often easily fixed. Prospective members should visit the Prospective members page for more introductory information on RC helis.

Getting to the Club
(All visitors are welcome at the field, please come down for a look)


Raptor 50

Come down to the field on Sundays and have a look for yourself. We meet all year around (weather permitting) at around 9:00am and finish at around 2-4pm on the large oval next to Cedric Road across from the Stirling City Council.
The easiest way to get there is off Karrinyup Rd as if you were going to the Osborne Park Hospital, or else take the new road just of Cedric St. Then just make your way to the oval. The following map will help you find the oval. Our flying site is marked with a red dot. As you can see from the map we are right beside the Mitchell Freeway (freeway north) and are about 5 min north of the city center, a great location (with plenty of parking).


The red dot marks the location of the clubs flying field..
