Kansas City Radio Control Association boasts a seventy-two-year tradition of celebrating model aviation in the Heart of America. In addition to our premier Swap “N” Shop held every February, monthly club meetings, and impromptu gatherings of modelers at the field, we’re “gearing up” for our National Model Aviation Day celebration on August 22, 2026.

Partnering for the third year with local Scout Troop 1306 as our sole food vendor, we expect 30-50 pilots from across the Midwest along with hundreds of spectators and area Scout groups.

“Come Fly with KC/RC Flight School” will provide ground school orientation via flight simulators and introduction flights using club trainer planes and flight instructors from 9:00-11:30 and 1:00-4:00 for anyone interested in experiencing the thrill of radio control flight.

KC/RC pilots will provide an entertaining and informative Airshow from 11:30-12:30. Showing the Top Gun skills of KCRC pilots in a wide range of aircraft including helicopters, jets, classic era planes, war birds, and aerobatic aircraft.

From 12:30-1:00 visitors will have the opportunity to get close and personal with aircraft during the Parade of Planes as flying is suspended, and everyone is invited on the runway to observe a lineup of planes, talk to the pilots, and vote on their favorites.

All club profits from the event will be donated to Angel Flight Central, whose mission is to serve people in need by arranging charitable flights for health care or other humanitarian purposes.

We formally invite the public to join our celebration held at:
Charles Reed III Memorial Flying Field
Located in Fleming Park
3581-3899 Rennau Dr.
Lee's Summit, MO 64064

We had a great day at the 2026 “KC/RC Fly and Swap”. Lots of flying, buying, selling, and trading. A big shout out to the KCRC members that worked the tent and supported the sales of items recently donated to the club. This allowed us to raise additional funds for club projects and field improvements. The highlight of the day was setting around and having great conversations with fellow modelers from around the Kansas City metro area, including members from Jayhawk Model Masters, RC Barnstormers at Hillsdale Lake, Springfield RC Club Blacksheep Squadron, Cameron Dragonflies, RC Sport Flyers at Longview Lake, and everyone else that spent the day with us. The Scouts parent team did a great job providing breakfast and lunch while the kids were at camp, and we had a great turnout of area modelers and spectators filling the bleachers. Compared to the hot weather in late June, no one complained about the temperature. Our annual Swap N Shop will be held in February at John Knox Pavilion in Lee’s Summit.

No better way to spend a summer evening than at Charles Reed III Memorial Flying Field in Fleming Park sharing the excitement of aviation with a new generation of flyers, builders, designers, engineers…the list is endless where these kids will go.
This group of amazing fledgling pilots is from the EAA 91—KC/RC Young Eagles Build and Fly program in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. Words can’t tell the story as well as pictures, so scroll through the post.

Kansas City Radio Control Association celebrated a day of flying and modeler fellowship with the “2026 Jets over Jacomo” held at the Charles Reed III Memorial Flying Field in Lee’s Summit, Mo. Pilots from Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, and Florida filled the skies with the sounds and smells of turbine and EDF jets of all sizes.

A heartfelt memorial to KC/RC member and friend, the late Tom Cook, was held throughout the day as Tom’s sons set up a great display that showcased his personal and professional contributions to the radio control hobby, including accomplishments as an owner-operator of Jet Model Products that served jet model enthusiasts around the world and his design and innovation of the DynaMax ducted fan system, many of which are in use to this day. Tom was a Competitor, Pattern Flyer, Pylon racer, 1980 KC/RC Club President, Multi-Nationals and Scale Masters Champion, a true friend to the hobby.
Tom’s family and friends joined together for the sharing of stories and a generous donation was made to KC/RC in honor of Tom.
A giant of the model aircraft world, he was inducted into the AMA Hall of Fame in 2023. Tom will be missed.
The club’s next event will be a Fly and Swap held on July 11, 2026. All types and sizes of radio control aircraft are welcome and a swap meet will take place on the grounds. Landing and selling fee will be $10.
