MORRIS, ILLINOIS: The Grundy
Aeromodelers hosted the 11th annual RC
AutoGyro Flyers get-together September
8-10, 2006. Fliers from all over attended
the event and brought 28 RC autogiros to
fly.
Plenty of blue skies on Friday and
Saturday allowed for many flights and
despite some rain on the final day, a
number of hardy souls still came out to
take advantage of the time and expertise
available on the field.
A wide variety of aircraft was
represented including single and twin
rotors and direct-control rotors. Electric
aircraft made their appearance as well and
demonstrated solid flight stability.

Jefferson City, Missouri: The Jefferson
City R/C Club (JCRC) participated in the
Boy Scouts Fort Cupboard Creek Camp R/C
Flying Demonstration.
Hundreds of Scouts and their leaders
stopped to watch club members fly as part
of the event. Several of the Scouts who
correctly answered an aviation-related
question were given the chance to try RC
flying via a trainer cord on two of Sig
Kadets provided by Jim Crago and Shaun
Zimmerman.
The Scouts enjoyed having the club out
there and the organizers of the event sent
JCRC a thank-you note for their
participation.
