JACK MARTIN reports that the Fern
Prairie Modelers held a Scale Helicopter
fun-fly at the club’s field in Washougal,
Washington, on July 20-21.
The event was to promote the Scale
Helicopter part of modeling. The fly-in had
10 registered pilots and drew a crowd of 100
to 150 each of the two days despite the rain.
All of the winners except Scott Malone.
The helicopters that flew at the event.
Chris Quinby received the CD’s Choice
Award.
Mike Spinner received the Bambi bucket
trophy.
Dick Weaver reported that the Lake
Sawyer Hawks had a great day helping kids
and their parents build more than 250 Delta
Darts. This was the club’s fourth year
working at the Kids Day at Lake
Wilderness Park in Maple Valley,
Washington.
The kids glue the sticks onto the plan
then an adult helper cuts it out with a razor
blade. They bring the pieces to the final
assembly table and club members use an
assembly fixture to glue the wings and the
elevator on and add a pin to hold the rubber
band motor and mount the propeller.
In only a few minutes they have their
models built and are ready to fly. With the
use of the assembly fixtures the club has
reduced the number of steps on the
instruction sheet from 24 to eight. This
makes the Delta Dart build go faster and
simpler.
Seated at one of the assembly tables are (LR)
Dennis Long, Dave Temby, and Dennis
Sivak.
Assisting the builders are Marlow Anderson
(R) and Amy Kuipers.
Helping at the ther final assembly table are
Ted Moser (L) and Dick Weaver.
Until next time. Bruce.
