For clubs near you, you can use the club locator on the AMA website:
www.modelaircraft.org

Aircore planes are basically SPADs, though a bit different. You can get lots of SPAD info in the forum for that or at www.spadtothebone.com

I haven't built an aircore plane myself, so I don't have any specific help.

You might want to try RCRC at the end of Leaman Ferry Road. They have a fantastic field. They are sticklers for rules and they have plenty of them but your can learn to fly there. Some guys used to fly on one of the back roads at Intergraph and they probably still do. Give Dean Knight a call. He is a great guy and would be glad to buddy with you. He is in the book.
