RCGroups.com’s 2013 Electric
Tournament of Champions
I remember the first
year of the Electric
Tournament of
Champions (ETOC). It was
held in a gymnasium with
low ceilings and few seats.
There was a line around
the building composed of
excited RC spectators who
were in town for the Toledo
R/C Expo.

I REMEMBER when I got my first job in
the RC industry. The vice president of the
company told me I would have to attend all
of the major RC shows across the country.
We were sitting in a restaurant so I stopped
myself from jumping up and letting go with a
real Texas yahoo.

IF YOU HAVE been to even one RC fly-in,
you might know how much fun one can be. I
have been a part of events that have had as
few as 20 people and shows as large as the Joe
Nall Fly-In—one of the world’s largest
outdoor events. I also host an annual gathering
and we usually have roughly 100 pilots as
well as spectators.
There are many ways to go about hosting
an event. Each show has its own character and
appeals to pilots in different ways.
