FEBRUARY ALREADY ...
Where did the time go? It seems like only last week I wrote my December column. Hopefully you all have your winter projects nearly finished and all the batteries are being monitored for spring. Just around the corner is the 2010 Toledo Expo. For me that means flying season — like opening day of a new baseball season. It is also a time for District VII clubs to start thinking about how the flying site has survived the winter.
Mt. Pleasant Model Aircraft Club
Norm Eifer, Secretary/Treasurer of the Mt. Pleasant Model Aircraft Club in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, sent in photos of what went on last year. The club received donations from local businesses to help get the field in shape:
- A local trucking company supplied dirt.
- Three lumber companies supplied building materials.
- A towing company supplied a front-end loader.
Wow! I would say they have it together. Great job.
St. Croix Valley Radio Control Club
Mark Robotti, longtime District VII Associate Vice President, sent this report from the St. Croix Valley Radio Control Club. The club put on a Delta Dart program at the Osceola, Wisconsin, middle school.
- Attendance: 25 youngsters and 2 teachers
- Duration: roughly two hours
- Each student received a Delta Dart to build and a new kit to take home
- Several RC planes were on display for the students to check out
Till next time, get out and promote our hobby/sport. Get involved, have fun, and fly safely. C.A.V.U.
