The Sky Rovers RC Flying Club’s airshow wows the crowd and continues on Sunday.

PHELPS — Give them five minutes and they’ll make you fall in love with flying.

Members of the Sky Rovers RC Flying Club are passionate about their handcrafted, radio-controlled aircraft, and they’re proving why, to the applause of hundreds attending this weekend’s 2017 Sky Rovers Annual Airshow on McBurney Road.

Is it the mesmerizing buzz of the engines that draws people in? Or the graceful spins, loops, snap rolls, stall turns and tailslides of the model aircraft? Or could it be the pristine craftsmanship of each of the $150 to $5,000 models?

Everyone loves the hobby — or as some call it, sport — for different reasons. Take Dave Reid, who has been a member of Sky Rovers for the last 46 years.

“Everybody thinks the club is just flying airplanes,” said Reid. “But it’s the camaraderie, the fellowship. It’s just a lot of fun.”

And it’s relatively inexpensive, he said.

“We’re competitively priced with other hobbies,” said Reid. “If you’re a bass fisherman or an active golfer, you’re going to have a lot more money tied up. With us, if we spend money on something, it can be used over and over again. And even if we crash an aircraft, you can take the parts out, repair them and use them over again.”

If a person isn’t mechanically adept, they can still fly, he said. Some just don’t like the idea of balsa

“After that plane hit an oak tree at the speed of sound, it sounded like a .38 pistol being shot,” Koenig said. “Parts went everywhere.”

Although he’s a more seasoned flyer now, Koenig’s experience with RC planes has been filled with memorable mishaps.

One of his longest-lasting planes met its end after hitting a lamp post at dizzying speeds. The force of the impact sheared the tiny plane in half and sent the engine spiraling hundreds of yards away from the crash site.

Now the treasurer of the Johnson City Radio Controllers, a group of aviation aficionados who fly model airplanes at a landing strip off Lancaster Road, Koenig has had time to hone his craft and has even been recognized at a national competition for his deft handling behind an RC controller.

Aviation is something Koenig has loved since childhood.

“I was always smitten with flying,” Koenig said. “Always.”

Although he never made a career out of piloting an aircraft, Koenig knew he wanted to fly RC planes the moment he saw them in action. Now, he and other members of the club are hoping to pass that passion on to wannabe RC pilots who are new to the hobby.

On Saturday, the Johnson City Radio Controllers hosted an all-day event at the Tri-City Model Aircraft Airport located at 120 Lancaster Road. The event, Fun Fly Day, also acted in part as a grand reopening of their model plane airport, which had been closed for the past few months in order to repave
