IN MAY, North Carolina’s Catawba Valley
R/Cers held a fun-fly with proceeds going to
the Palliative Care Center and Hospice of
Catawba Valley. The donation check
presented to the hospice organization in the
picture below was for $900.
The Caldwell Aeromodelers held its
second annual Fun Soar at the club field in
Hudson, North Carolina, during the
Memorial Day weekend. Glider pilots from
Asheville, Statesville, Hickory, and
Wilkesborough, North Carolina, participated
in the event.
The early fog cleared by mid-morning
and gave way to beautiful Carolina blue
skies and white puffy clouds. Though
thermals were elusive during the day, pilots
and spectators had a fun time and enjoyed a
great day of soaring and meeting new
friends.
The Riverside Aero Modelers Society
(RAMS) in East Bend, North Carolina, had
its open house on May 1-2, 2010. Thirty-six
pilots showed up to have fun.
The new strip is 1,000- x 100-feet wide
to take off and land on, and the site boasts
more than 800 acres to fly over. There are
no trees and it’s just a great place to fly.
Thanks to the club members and the
other people who stepped up to help finance
this project and make this happen. And
thanks to everyone who helped with the
work involved.
