Welcome to the Keystone Radio-Controlled Model Airplane Club web site.  New and prospective members should see the Club Info and New Membership sections on the site for more information about us and how to get started!


Our Club has been in existence for more than 40 years and is currently flying at a terrific site provided courtesy of Pat Mascaro located off of Forman Road in Souderton, Pennsylvania.  We are an active group of modelers with a wide range of flying interests from including sport, scale, pattern, 3D, giant scale and helicopter with both electric and fuel power.  We offer a training program with qualified instructor pilots for members who are looking to learn how to fly.

We host membership meetings on a monthly basis to discuss Club business and talk about modeling with our members and visitors.  We also host Fun Fly's each month during the official flying season starting in April where we cook out and enjoy fun, competitive events.

Please come out to the field or to a membership meeting to meet with us and talk radio-control flying and let us show you how simple and fun it is to get started!

Mercer County Jumbo Jamboree Airshow

Everyone is invited to the Mercer County Radio Control Society's 19th Annual Jumbo Jamboree Airshow on Memorial Day weekend.  This airshow, jointly sanctioned by the AMA and the IMAA, is a fun-fly event that provides giant-scale modelers in the east with an opportunity to get together and fly their IMAA-legal models.  There is no competition, except for the People's Choice contest: just flying, food, and fun.

Details of the event are posted on their website at www.mcrcs.com/Jumbo.html.  Please note that the flying field is off Exit 11 of I-195, not I-95 as listed in Model Aviation.

QuickConnect Voltage Recovery System for DSM2 Air receivers

Performance modelers have known for some time that care must be taken to assure adequate power supplies for their airborne system. It’s true for all radio systems, but it’s doubly important when using high-performance servos, flying harder maneuvers, and trying to save weight with inadequate batteries and/or regulators.

Spektrum systems are designed with an operating threshold of 3.5 volts, and lower voltages cause the system to shut down. When adequate power is regained (usually the drop is momentary), earlier Spektrum systems re-boot and rescan for two previous channels before control is restored – a process usually requiring two to five seconds.

The new QuickConnect feature, however, eliminates the scanning delay and restores control almost instantly. We have been integrating this upgrade into receivers in a running change. Here’s how to identify if your receiver has QuickConnect:

With the system operating normally, simply switch the airborne power off, then on. If your system shows virtually no delay in regaining control, your receiver includes the QuickConnect feature.
