I live in forest Hills, Queens, NYC. I was wondering if anyone could help point me in the direction of a good RC Club in this area.

Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Sastra1978 -

I live in Queens also right near JFK airport. I fly both glow fuel planes and electrics. I fly the glow fuel plane down in Brooklyn at Floyd Bennett Field and fly my electrics in local parks. PM your address to me and I will email you.

Thanks

Mark

Sastra: Several of our members have flown at Floyd Bennett Field, I think that's near Queens, isn't it?

And there used to be a club on Staten Island, but that was a while back. And, of course you have to cross that bridge to get there.. re-finance your house every time you pay the toll [:@]

You guys are awesome. Really appreciate all your quick responses. Pardon my tardy reply but I just got back from a trip to Ohio.

Once again thanks.

LOL - Your right about refinancing that house with the brigde. $9.00. Ouch. The field is actually in Brooklyn about 8 miles outside of Queens I believe.
