On behalf of ECIM I want to welcome you to the club website. Our goal is to have a central place to disseminate information to everyone at the same time. As the club has grown, so has the administrative duties. We are up to 150 members and contacting everyone in a timely manner has become quite a chore. The site will host information for new members as well as schedules, photos, contest information and an area for some chest beating!

The website is yours! To that end we hope you will contribute. If you have web knowledge or just want to send a story via email we appreciate any help you can offer.

ECIM provides access to historic hanger No. 1 every weekend throughout the year for free flight and slow fly rc enthusiasts. As far as we know, ECIM is the oldest operating model aircraft club in the nation. We have been flying in the hanger for over seventy-five years! We host sanctioned record trials throughout the year, and our members regularly set national records, competing on a world class level.

Hanger No. 1 provides one of the largest indoor spaces on the planet. Its interior dimensions are: 800' long X 260' wide with a 196' ceiling. The hanger was originally constructed during the heyday of Zeppelin development and is most famous for housing the Hindenberg on its trans-atlantic flights. Hanger No. 1 is part of the Navy Lakehurst Air Engineering Facility, which among other things provides the navy with developmental support.

ECIM maintains a close relationship with the base and is considered part of the hangers history.

ECIM is a chartered club with the Academy of Modeling Aeronautics.
