Budget RC ( a.k.a. BRC) was started in January 2006 by Mark Schoenrock and his sons, Mark and Kyle.  The business evolved from a love of radio control flying that the entire Schoenrock family has shared for years.

Mark Sr. has been involved in modeling for nearly 30 years.  In 1977 he met his wife’s Uncle Bud who is an RC pilot and enthusiast.  Uncle Bud encouraged him to learn the sport.  It didn’t take long and he was hooked.  So when Uncle Bud encouraged him to go a step further and create his own model designs, Mark did with great enthusiasm.  During the past 30 years, he has designed several models, taking one to production.  His Tri-Fli airplane came with one fuselage and three interchangeable wings.  It went out of production when the manufacture went out of business.  Mark is considering bringing the Tri-Fli back.  He has been a champion fun fly competitor many times in the early 90’s using his own designs.  Mark’s passion is designing model airplanes, and his love of math is a big help.  His past experience in manufacturing and assembly is an asset to the company, allowing it to grow while it produces high quality products for the RC pilot.

His eldest son Mark is an RC pilot as well.  His passion and bachelor’s degree is in Computer Animation.  These skills aid BRC in all artistic aspects including, but not limited to designing graphics, web design assistance and putting the models into flight simulators.  Mark who currently lives in Orlando, FL has been flying for over 15 years now, and enjoys coming home to Michigan to fly with his dad and his brother Kyle.

It all began for Kyle over 12 years ago.  When he first got to watch his Dad fly, he was enthused how his dad had complete control of the airplane.  He enjoyed watching, but was more excited when he actually got to fly the Tri-Fli, one of his dad’s designs.  He started with just loops and barrel rolls, but was hooked nonetheless.  He got his first airplane, an Eagle, for Christmas at just eight years old.  That plane didn’t get built though, until Kyle was ten.  It was at that time he had learned that Great Planes had come out with a flight simulator, and he had to have one.  Kyle was glued to it for three months, honing his skills.  He still remembers his first Eagle flight.  And now ten years later, he is the test pilot for Budget RC.

Budget RC’s current focus is to offer outstanding performing designs and models to our customers.  Its facility covers all aspects of production including design, print, cut and packaging.  All this comes with budget minded prices with the customer in mind. 

As of March 1^st, 2007, BRC now own all the equipment necessary to make this happen and to benefit our customers and their families.  By doing this, we believe we can compete in the world market.  Budget RC’s focus is currently on electric models, but  will be adding gas models later this year.

Budget RC is a family owned business dedicated to family fun and entertainment in the sport of RC flying.
