150 MODEL AVIATION
SPRING IS GETTING closer by the day.
The Toledo Weak Signals Expo is just
weeks away.
Hopefully, the new projects that you
started are nearly finished and any models
that needed repair are also taken care of.
There is nothing left to do but make the final
checks on the equipment.
For the RCers, transmitter and receiver
batteries are charged, engines have been
cleaned and test run and are ready to go.
Controliners, check the engines, control
handles, pull test the lines and check for any
kinks and connections that need to be
repaired. It’s time for all of us in the
modeling hobby to “Git R Done.”
The Kent Radio Aeromodelers Inc.
(KRAMS) had a very interesting year
according to the report submitted by Danny
Osborn. KRAMS sent in the application for
club financial assistance and applied for the
Take off And Grow (TAG) program, never
guessing they would be awarded both.
Now that the club had received the
assistance, it was time to get the ball rolling.
First thing was to get the 20 x 24 shelter up
so there would be a place to set up the
equipment for the TAG program. It was time
for the members to roll up their sleeves and
get the project started and completed.
The TAG program got under way with
18 participants showing up the first day to
fly three trainers using the buddy boxes and
try their hands at simulator flying. Let’s let
the pictures tell the rest of the story.
Our thanks to Danny Osborn for sending
in the report.
Till next time, see you at the field. Fly
safely, have fun, and take a youngster with
you when you go out to the field.
