Radio control sailboats and scale models in Phoenix, Arizona

Connect with Radio Control Sailors & Scalers

Radio control sailors and scalers in the Phoenix metropolitan area are only separated by geography: sailing boats in different, often distant parts of the region and coming together for regattas or scale events. This WVRCM SailRC.club site tries to keep us all connected by acting as a central bulletin board and membership meeting spot.
