MODEL AVIATION
THE WINSTON SALEM Radio Control
club held its Annual Swap Meet in
November 2005 at the Dixie Classic
Fairgrounds Home and Garden Building, in
Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
It looks as though they had a good
turnout according to the crowd. Many
buyers and venders went home happy. The
swap meets fill in the wintertime lull before
the flying season begins.
Lexington, North Carolina, was the site of
another swap meet sponsored annually by
the Triad Aero Modelers, Inc. This meet was
held at the Davidson County Fairgrounds in
March 2006.
According to the club officers, they had
an excellent crowd and there was much
buying and swapping to get ready for
upcoming events.
Following are a few photos of the event.
This spring, the Caldwell Aero Modelers,
Inc. attended the Caldwell County
Commissioners meeting to present a plaque
in appreciation of the commissioners’
support of the hobby/sport of model aviation
and the use of the closed county landfill as a
flying site. The site has been the location of
several community efforts by the club. The
plaque was presented to Faye Higgins,
chairperson, at a recent meeting by club
president Seth Nagy.
With the decision of Tom McClain and
wife Sheryl to move to Arizona, I would like
anyone interested in accepting the associate
vice president’s position in northern
Virginia to contact me by E-mail or
telephone to discuss the details at this time.
I want to thank Tom for all his hard work
and interest. We all wish him the best in his
new location and hope he keeps in touch.
Thanks for a job well done, Tom. By the
way, Rich Hanson, vice president in District
X, will be getting a good member!
At this time, I would also like to solicit
applications for a District IV Safety
Coordinator. Thanks.
Go teach a kid to fly!
