About KCRC


Knox County Radio Control Society, Inc. is an AMA-chartered club serving Knoxville, TN, and surrounding communities. Located in west Knox County on Williams Bend Road near Melton Hill Park, our field features a 345-foot paved runway on a scenic hilltop overlooking Melton Hill Lake. A covered pit area provides shelter from the elements, and numerous starting benches provide ample room for you to start your engines and work on your models. Learn more about us on Facebook and come out and join the fun.

Learn to fly


RC flying is a lot of fun, but it also requires practice and patience. KCRC has excellent instructors to help you get started and provide free instruction. We do our training on buddy boxes to minimize the risk to your aircraft. Your transmitter is connected to the instructor's transmitter, and you have control of the aircraft when the instructor holds a spring-loaded switch. If you lose control, the instructor takes control back and restores the aircraft to the proper attitude. In the old days, beginners often crashed a lot of airplanes learning to fly. Today, most people earn their wings without losing a single aircraft!
