Welcome

Chicagoland Radio Control Modelers, Inc. was founded in 1948 to promote radio controlled model airplane flying for the enjoyment and recreation of its members. We are a non-profit organization and all dues and monies received are used to maintain our flying site or to promote club activities. Our founder was Frank Madl, who conceived the original spring nose landing gear. He submitted the idea to Flying Models magazine and received a $5.00 award for it in 1957.

Meetings are generally held on the first Friday of the month at the Schaumburg Airport. The Airport is located at Wright and Irving Park Roads, just west of Roselle Road and South of the Elgin O’Hare Expressway. The meetings start at 7:30 PM and at the conclusion of the meeting we meet for some food and drinks at the restaurant on the main floor of the airport.

It is with a heavy heart that CRCM must announce the passing of longtime member Richard (Dick) Hamilton at the age of 94. Dick was a treasured member of the club, attending events and meetings on a regular basis, a true aeromodeler, and all around friendly and generous individual. Dick will be sorely missed but always remembered. Thank you Richard for being such a great friend to CRCM over the many years!
