The Middlesex Modelers hosted the
South Jersey Aeromodelers CL racing
event on April 29, 2012, as part
of several CL events this season, at
Mountianview Park in Middlesex, New
Jersey. Multiple CL event categories
were flown, including National Control
Line Racing Association Clown Racing
and some spectacular Stunt flying. If
you’ve never attended a CL event,
or if it’s been a while since you have,
you must go. The skills and techniques
of these pilots and their aircraft are
nothing short of incredible. Check the
AMA Contest Calendar for upcoming
CL events. It’s worth the trip!
The Ocean County Modelers (OCM)
club’s Wiskow Field is the flying
site featured in the first AMA/
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) Superfund Partnership video,
and one of the early success stories in
the AMA/EPA flying site partnership.
Wiskow Field was also the site of the
Ocean County Modelers’ first Whisper
Quiet Fun-Fly this past spring.
Not deterred by the windy weather,
CD Dan Vincent Ditursi, club
President Lou Capurso, and OCM
club members and volunteers put on a
great event. The pilots braved the wind
and flew everything from biplanes
to pattern aircraft. Demonstration
pilot, Dave Lockhart—along with
his spotter, pit assistant, and father,
Ron Lockhart—brought his fleet of
airplanes and flew them all.
Pilots and spectators were amazed at
the Whisper Quiet event when noted
model aircraft pilot and airline captain,
Bryce Watson, flew his fully functional
V-22 Osprey. Bryce’s VTOL V-22
was a crowd pleaser and even got the
attention of Horace Hagen. Horace is
an RC helicopter pioneer and holds the
record as the first person in the USA to
hover a shaft-driven RC helicopter.
I am sorry to report the passing of longtime RC Pulsers of Western New York President, Albert Engl. Al will be missed by all. Our condolences to his family and fellow fliers.
Remember, it's not abut what we fly,
it's abut the friends we make!
