TWO CLUBS, the Summit Valley R/C
Flyers and the Peoria R/C Modelers
sponsored a static display at the Prairie Air
Show in Peoria, Illinois. The club
members spent two days at the show,
talking to interested people and potential
modelers.
Members of both clubs enjoyed a great
time, and the Air Force Thunderbirds were
fantastic as usual. James Martin, who sent
in the pictures and information wrote,
“Several people we talked to commented
that they had visited our flying sites and
enjoyed watching the flying activity.”
What a great way to show our sport to
nonmodelers.
Vernon Coop from Joliet, Illinois, sent in
some pictures of a Radio Control (RC)
Cub that went fishing. Earl Wormsley’s
RC Cub snagged a fisherman’s line.
The Cub wound up with 50 yards of
line on the propeller dragging the fishing
pole and a 1/2-pound catfish out to the
airplane.
Vernon also sent in a couple of pictures
of his Duck. It is 1/4-scale model that
weighs 50 pounds, has a 10-foot wingspan,
and is 10 feet in length. A 3W150 powers
the Duck. The pictures show his great
workmanship.
