District III Report - 2005/03

Terry Wisnewski has informed me that RC
in the Hills Productions is proud to announce
the first annual Radio Control Expo at the
Mountaineer Race Track Gaming Resort in
Chester, West Virginia. The three-day event
will take place the last weekend in
September. The dates for the 2005 show are
September 30-October 2.
The venue for the event is a fully climatecontrolled,
70,000-square-foot building. In
addition to plenty of space for vendor booths,
the expo will have an indoor flying site for
vendor demonstrations, an indoor car track,
an indoor boat pond, and two 27 x 20-foot
Jumbotrons, all under one roof. This will
truly be a multimedia event attracting RC
enthusiasts from a wide geographic area.
The mission of RC in the Hills
Productions, LLC is to provide a yearly
commercial venue for RC enthusiasts, their
friends, and families, at a recognized resort
offering superb vendor and meeting facilities,
as well as numerous on-site activities.
The Mountaineer Race Track and Gaming
Resort is a world-class resort located
approximately 35 minutes away from the
Greater Pittsburgh International Airport.
Airport pickup service is available if needed.
There are roughly 400 hotel rooms
available on-site, in addition to two stages of
free, live entertainment and dancing from 10
p.m. until 2 a.m. There’s a piano bar, gaming
rooms with more than 3,500 slots, horse
racing, fine dining, casual dining, an on-site

There is free onsite parking and shuttle
bus transportation to all areas of the campus.
The facilities at Mountaineer Race Track and
Gaming Resort provide extensive activities
for all interests. In addition to on-site lodging,
there are more than 15 hotels within a 20-
mile radius.
As the expo grows in popularity, many
exciting events are planned. The Mountaineer
campus has the capacity to expand into
outdoor flying demonstrations, larger outdoor
car tracks, and boat ponds.
Please join us at our inaugural event and
help us build the finest all-in-one radio
control event.
The Harv should provide a great location.
The Greater Cincinnati Radio Control Club
(GCRCC) held its first annual warbird fly-in
on October 24, 2004. The qualifications for
entry were an aircraft of any make, model,
and type that was built with military
markings.
More than 30 pilots registered resulting in
more than 70 aircraft that covered the World
War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam
eras. Notable mention goes to several Dr.I
models, P-51 replicas of the Tuskegee Fighter
Group, and an electric version of a German
jet prototype.
Clear skies prevailed throughout the day,
but as is typical on a beautiful fall afternoon
in Cincinnati, winds were in the
neighborhood of 15 mph, with gusts up to 20
that limited some of the flying.
The GCRCC has been in existence for 45
years and has more than 200 members. It
sponsors several fly-ins throughout the year
and an annual air show that draws crowds in
excess of 5,000 people. Those fly-ins include
the Cliff Kell Memorial Giant Scale, a
national qualifier Pylon race, an electric fly,
rotorcraft-type aircraft, and now a warbird
fly-in.
In addition, the club raises money for
spina bifida, local athletic teams, and Boy
Scouts. The GCRCC has a sanctioned Air
Show Team that flies demonstrations at fullscale
aircraft shows at the Blue Ash Airport
in Blue Ash, Ohio, Lunken Airport in
Cincinnati, and Grissom Air Force Base
Museum in Bunker Hill, Indiana.
The club participates in several other civic
events that make this club the King of the
Queen City!
