Empire Grounds: The JB Empire Fly-In Project

JB Empire: Ground Zero
Building the Future of RC, One Fly-In at a Time

Some people rent space at a local club and call it an event.
I bought 25 acres.

This is Ground Zero - the first of what will become a network of JB Empire-operated RC fly-in destinations across the United States. More than just open space, it’s the foundation for a completely different kind of RC experience: no red tape, no gatekeeping, no dull handshakes. Just engines screaming, LEDs flying, dirt flying, smoke trails cutting across the sky - and real people having real fun.

I’m building what I wish existed when I got into this world.
Now I’m inviting the ones who get it to be part of it.

What to Expect at a JB Empire Event

This isn’t a one-day demo or a club cookout. These are multi-day experiences, run on private land, fueled by passion, and open to anyone who respects the throttle and the craft. Each location will grow into a full-fledged RC event center - with the infrastructure and space to support everything from giant-scale planes to off-road RC trucks.

🔥 The Vision:

3-day fly-ins with open fields, loud skies, and late-night bonfires

On-site camping (tents, RVs, trailers - bring it all)

Full event support: power, water (as we grow), shade, vendor spaces

Special event days: warbird formations, heli-only hours, combat zones, FPV trails

RC car + drone areas with tracks, crawl zones, and freestyle pits

BBQ, raffles, live music, and night flying under the stars

Vendor showcases for small businesses, designers, and custom builders

A zero-politics zone - all RC, all fun, no club drama

Why I’m Doing This

I’ve built everything in JB Empire from scratch. The designs. The products. The infrastructure. The legal side. The brand. And now I’m building something for all of us - a place to fly, drive, build, laugh, and burn a little nitro (or LiPo) without worrying about rules written in the 1970s.

If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t fit into the local scene - too loud, too creative, too different - welcome home.

I’m not interested in being liked. I’m interested in building something legendary.

Where We’re Going

📍 25 acres already secured in my home state (location announced soon)
📍 Next targets: Florida, Iowa, Colorado, Texas, Arizona, Missouri, Tennessee, and anywhere else RC is alive and wild
📍 National-level events to follow - think RC meets music festival
📍 Partnerships forming now for gear sponsors, food trucks, performers, and brands that align

This is the launchpad. From here, the sky's not the limit - it's just the starting line.

Want In?

I’m building a list of serious hobbyists, creators, builders, and brands who want to be part of something different - something real. Whether you want to attend, sponsor, help build the tracks, or just stay in the loop - drop your info below.

This isn’t about being exclusive. It’s about being excellent.

Final Words

JB Empire Fly-In Events are about to redefine what the RC world can be. No politics. No plastic trophies. Just you, your machine, and the open sky.

The only rule? Bring something worth flying - and someone worth flying with.

See you on the field.
