CLUB NUMBER 396, the Spirits of St.
Louis RC Flying Club, held its third,
successful Helicopter Fun-Fly in June 2011
in St. Louis.
Missouri pilots came from Kansas City,
Sedalia, Rolla, and of course, several from
the St. Louis area. Tom Foster, Pete
Stephens, and Kevin Cordell were the co-
CDs and did a great job. Bill Lindewirth was
the official chef for the day.
Various fliers defied the laws of physics
and gravity all day. All spectators had a
great time. Pictures and caption information
were sent in by Walt Wilson.
