IT IS ALWAYS a pleasure for me to get
this type of information and be able to
present it to our District VII readers!
Michigan State University held the
Michigan State Science Olympiad Wright
Stuff senior division competition earlier this
year. There were 42 team entries in the
category. Of those teams, students Colin
Veele and
Alex
Cotton of
Grand
Haven,
Michigan,
took the top
honors.
This is a
small
glimpse of
the future
of modelers
in our hobby/sport. Congratulations fellows!
The Cloudbusters Model Airplane Club
of Michigan assisted in the recording and
judging duties. The picture and information
were submitted by Dan Olah.
Who says CL is dead? Here is a picture of
Frank Carlisle and one of his latest
airplanes: an L.A. Heat twin.
Last November’s column mentioned that
the Milwaukee Area Radio Kontrol Society
(M.A.R.K.S.) club was celebrating its 50th
anniversary.
At the time there was a problem with the
photos that were to be used and only the
picture of Dario Brisighella, one of the club
founders, ran with the story. Since then,
some corrections were made and I am
including these shots of the M.A.R.K.S.
members at their celebration fly-in.
By now everyone should have his or her
new projects nearly ready for spring. If not,
you had better get going!
And don’t forget: the Toledo Expo 2008
is just around the corner.
Until next time, get a youngster involved.
You would be surprised how much fun it is
seeing a youngster learning about our
hobby. Remember when you started?
Fly safely and have fun. C.A.V.U.
