CONTINUING with our strategy to promote
aeromodeling, provide additional value to
clubs, and bring members together at districtsponsored
events, we have budgeted
additional district funds to sponsor two oneday
specialty events and two three-day open
flying events during 2007. AMA members
will not pay any fees to attend or fly at these
events, courtesy of AMA District I.
Last month’s column presented the poster
ad for a one-day specialty event, the AMA
District I Sponsored Electric Fun-Fly and
Airshow, which the Wintonbury Flying
Club in Bloomfield, Connecticut, will host
on July 28, 2007.
This month’s column shows the ad for
another event sanctioned as a one-day event.
The South Shore Radio Control Club in
Bridgewater, Massachusetts, will host the
AMA District I Sponsored Light Wings
Electric Fly-In on June 24, 2007.
The first three-day open flying event ad
is also featured. The Woodstock RC Flyers
in Woodstock, Connecticut, will host the
AMA District I Sponsored Summer Fun-Fly
and Airshow July 13-15.
The second three-day open flying event
ad will be in next month’s column. The
Wachusett Barnstormers are hosting the
AMA District I Fall Fun-Fly at the Gardner
Airport in Massachusetts, September 14-16.
This year, because of the growth and
popularity of electric aircraft, the focus for
the specialty events is RC electrics. Last
year it was Giant Scale aircraft.
Any district club may apply to have a
district-sponsored event. The requirements
and benefits were outlined in my May MA
column. We are open to having events in
other states besides Massachusetts and
Connecticut however, that can only happen
if your club contacts us with a desire to host
an event.
With four 2007 district-sponsored events
that are free and spread throughout the
region, the district officers and I look
forward to meeting and flying with many of
you this year.
