Turbines and Tumbleweeds - RC Jet Flying in West Texas

Turbines and Tumbleweeds - RC Jet Flying in West Texas Radio Control Jet Event to be held the first weekend October in Sweetwater Tx

12/07/2025

Friends of Turbines & Tumbleweeds – I need your help.

We just launched a brand-new app, RC Event Hub, built in-house by one of your fellow jet pilots specifically to make it easier to follow all your favorite RC activities in one convenient place.

Instead of chasing posts and flyers all over Facebook, group chats, and random websites, RC Event Hub pulls it all together in one app:

All major RC disciplines in one place – Jets, Warbirds, 3D, IMAC, Helis, Cars, Boats, On-road, Off-road, and more.

Search and sort events by date, distance, and category so you can quickly see what’s happening this weekend, next month, or across town

Get turn-by-turn directions from your location straight to the field, track, or pond.

Save events to your personal calendar so you never forget another fun-fly, race, or big jet rally.

Event details and flyers in-app so you have all the info you need in your pocket.

We are already loading events for 2026 as soon as they become available.

Monthly RC Gear Giveaway – subscribers are automatically entered, with chances to win RC gear, accessories, and more.

All of this is available for less than the cost of a cup of coffee each month.

This is a grassroots project built by RC people, for RC people, and it needs support from the community to really take off. If you enjoy events like Turbines & Tumbleweeds and want to see more events grow and thrive, please:

Download RC Event Hub on the App Store and Google Play.

Subscribe inside the app to unlock all the features and be entered into the monthly giveaway.

Share it with your RC friends and clubs so they can list and find events too.

Your download and subscription are a direct way to support a fellow hobbyist who’s investing time, money, and effort into making our entire RC community more connected and easier to navigate.

Download RC Event Hub today and help launch this app the right way.

Just stumbled across this YT video by PaulZ RC of the event.

This is a very nice representation of the venue and the scale of what we are building.

Attending my first jet event. Flying the BlackHorse MiG-29. She is holding up really well next to all the composite jets here.

What do you do after a long season of jet flying at events... You find a reason to get together and fly more jets :)

One of the highlights of the event...

Nothing better than seeing a young pilot walk away with something awesome!

Wyatt Garrett walked away with this brand new turbine ready F-16 generously donated by Chris at Hsdjetsusa.

I have since heard that the plane has been successfully maidened and Wyatt is actively building stick time towards his waiver.

Annette Sellers with the WIN!

The National WASP WWII Museum donated a ride in this vintage Steaman Bipe. They also provided our pilots with a guided tour of their museum on Friday morning. If you dont know the history of our Women Air Service Pilots, you really need to visit the museum.

So happy to have their support.

Bruce at Penn Bags donated a set of his standard bags to our raffle. Lucky winner was Dawn Ellzey and she can redeem the voucher for any plane in her hangar.

Side note: I have a set of his premium bags for my Top RC Odyssey and they are a great value.
