170 MODEL AVIATION
THE ASHVILLE-BUNCOME
Aeromodelers club held its first Senior
Pattern Association (SPA) event September
16, 2007, at its local flying field north of
Ashville in western North Carolina.
There were 19 contestants including 14
from Tennessee, and one each from
Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, and
one from as far away as New Jersey. These
seniors sure are dedicated!
During the noon break, everyone
enjoyed the usual good food by the ladies,
which even included dessert. You can
always count on a good meal at this club.
Will Hicks was CD and shared the list
of the top finishers in each division.
The judges are hard at work.
Headquarters.
With a turnout such as this, I would not
be surprised if the club held another one
next year.
I want to extend my condolences to the
family of Dave Robelen. In addition to
being a regular columnist in this magazine,
Dave was the Electric Contest Board
representative for District IV.
