The world's biggest RC club. Here's what's planned... Create the world's biggest virtual RC club by getting as many RC fliers together as possible, using the internet to help share videos, experiences, knowledge and the enjoyment of the hobby. Sure, there are sites such as RCU and RCG that have done something like this - but they are not so focused on the "fun" of the hobby and tend to produce anonymous members. They're also very commercially oriented. The goal with the proposed club is to make a far more "friendly" and personal club where all the members are your friends and people you recognize, thanks to their videos. The "World's Biggest RC club" would be to take the $$ and commercial goals out of the equation and simply provide a place to hang out, share your fun and enjoy seeing what others are doing. This is what I'm thinking: 1. Basic membership is free. 2. Basic+ membership costs a dollar and simply helps pay for the cost of web services etc. If you've paid your dollar then we'll also endeavor to make sure that if/when you ever visit our flying field, we'll have an AXN and RC gear available for you to borrow and have a fly while you're here. 3. Merchandise membership costs whatever it actually costs to print and ship teeshirts, cups, caps etc with the club's logo. But, before we can start the club and get some merchandise underway we need two things: 1. A Name for the club. 2. A cool design for the teeshirt, cup and cap. So, the challenge is for YOU to get working on a suitable name and cool graphic/logo/slogan for the club. Please post your efforts to YouTube and send me a link to the video -- towards the end of this month (March 2013) I'll publish a full list of links to those videos that have been submitted and we (all the prospective members) will be able to have a say in the selection process. Once the winning name and designs are selected, I'll get some tees, cups and caps made and send the winners theirs for free. Others who want to become merchandise members will be able to join by purchasing the merchandise directly from whatever online provider we decide on and simply posting a picture/video of themselves wearing or holding the relevant item. This is NOT a commercial venture and chances are that it will actually run at a loss -- with the shortfall coming from my own pocket. There won't be any advertising on the club website or other profit motives. Due to the almost certainty that "The Fun Police" and a few "grumpy old men" will attempt to infiltrate our numbers, we reserve the right to decline membership to such individuals -- for the benefit of all the real fun-loving people who want to enjoy being a member of the biggest RC club in the world. Remember the club's golden rules: 1. Don't be an idiot 2. Have fun And remember: Grumpy old men are not welcome Cocoa drinkers are banned All your comments, questions and suggestions are welcomed in the comments on this video.
