MONTICELLO, ILLINOIS: Club 1131,
the Monticello Model Makers Radio
Control Club, recently held its first
Sailplane event promoting Giant Sailplane
flying. Forty-one pilots with more than a
hundred Giant Scale Sailplanes (4-10
meters) soared at the Monticello County
Airport, home of the Illini Glider Club.
This event promises to be one of the
premier Sailplane events in the country
thanks to the cooperation of the Monticello
club, the Illini Glider Club, and JR. The
event with the tows and flights went well
due to the planning of the event director
Pete Goldsmith and his wife Carolyn.
The photos were sent in by Jim Shupe.
