THE TRIAD Aeromodelers, Inc. held its
annual swap meet at the Davidson County
fairgrounds Lexington, North Carolina.
There was a large turnout of modelers
seeking bargains for the upcoming flying
season. The pictures show the participation
at the event. This is one of the club’s
money-making endeavors.
Door prizes and the 50-50 raffle kept the
attendees anxious through out the day. Many
went home with bargains and door prizes
that were donated by local merchants. The
pictures of the buyers and sellers show how
large the turnout was.
Lost field is being used again! The
Ferguson Field Flyers lost its field several
years ago and moved to a full-scale airport
in Bryson City, North Carolina. The club
changed its name to Smoky Mountain
Barnstormers and remained on that site for
several years.
After a change of events, and with the
help of their new president, they were able
to move back to the old field which was on
Indian tribal property. John Bradley, current
club president, was able to negotiate with
the tribe for the return to the former site. The
club’s new name is the Kituwah R/C Club.
The field has been updated and the club’s
first event was held October 6-7, 2007. It
was well attended with fliers from
Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina,
and Virginia.
A noon meal was enjoyed by all and
local merchants contributed the door prizes
for the raffle. CD Dwayne Wright is looking
forward to many future events.

Way to go, club. That’s what happens
when you don’t give up.
