The Coachella Valley Radio Control Club is based near Coachella in Riverside County, California, U.S.. It is one of the oldest model aircraft clubs in the United States, one of the oldest non-profit service organizations in continuous existence in the Coachella Valley and one of the few Academy of Model Aeronautics gold-certified clubs in the country.〔http://www.coachellarc.com Official website of the Coachella Valley Radio Control Club〕 It is also the host field of the "Best In The West Jet Rally," a national gathering of model jet turbine enthusiasts.〔http://www.bestinthewestjets.org Official website of the Best In The West Jet Rally〕〔http://www.coachellarc.com/new_page_2.htm Reprint of the Best In The West article from the November 2006 edition of ''Model Aviation''〕 "Gold certification" means that the club has met certain strict guidelines of safety requirements within the AMA rules as well as a high degree of both safety and quality regarding the facility itself.〔http://www.modelaircraft.org/clubdetails.aspx?club=2458 AMA charter page〕 ==Early history==
The club traces its roots to 1938 when a loose-knit group of free flight model aircraft enthusiasts began meeting on a weekly basis at the now-defunct La Quinta Airport. That site, between Eisenhower Drive and Washington Street south of Avenue 52, is today a part of the La Quinta Cove residential district. It lies almost directly at the foot of the Santa Rosa Mountains, is prone to sudden high winds and, in the case of the hobbyists, the resulting loss of models. The onset of World War II in 1941 brought the practice to a temporary halt, resuming after the war at other open sites around the area. The immediate postwar era would see three major developments in the hobby, namely the development of control line flying, small nitromethane-powered glow engines and early, single-channel radio control. The latter took advantage of another postwar development, that of citizen's band radio. Model aircraft were allocated only one frequency, 27.255 MHz, meaning only one plane could fly at any given time. These early advances insured that the club would continue to grow, with hobbyists meeting at almost any open area that was available at the time.
