Where to find us

Come to the MARCS Nite-Fly on Saturday May 19th, at the MARCS flying field in Geneva. This is an AMA club and AMA pilots are welcome. Rabid Models will be there flying our planes, and also we'll have glue for sale. For more info, check the MARCS website. You can come early and enjoy flying in the afternoon - the nite fly begins around dusk.

We often fly in Geneva, OH at the GaREAT Complex (Spire Institute), just off I-90 at Rt 532. This is a fantastic indoor sports facility where the Holiday Electric Festival is held. The flying area is an Olympic sized indoor track, approximately 600ft long by about 300ft wide. Steve's giant 8-foot B17 flies in there with room to spare. See us there - first weekend in December!

In the winter we also fly at The Golf Dome in Bainbridge OH, off 306 and Washington Ave. During the summer we fly at our secret test facility, Area 52, otherwise known as "Tacic's Field".

Come see one of the best warbird airshows in the country - Thunder over Michigan near Detroit. This will be on Aug 4-5. This year's featured performers will be P51 Mustangs but there will be a lot of other stuff, including a simulated ground war and also the only flying B29 in existence "FIFI" will be there. Check out their website for more information and advance tickets. CLICK HERE

Rabid Models

With a few exceptions, our kits are profile scale models of twin-engined WW-II warbirds. Our airplanes don't have flat wings like most foamies, but have formed airfoils so they look really good and fly very well. The outlines are true to scale, and the models are instantly recognizable in the air by anyone familiar with the full-size aircraft.

Our kits are lightweight laser-cut foam and are relatively easy to assemble. That said, some skilled customers have produced some really excellent models - see the gallery Our product line leans towards the famous and unusual. We have more on the way! Any R/C pilot who is a warbird fan will really enjoy building and flying our models! Why be ordinary?
