MURRAY, KENTUCKY: The Murray
R/C Modelers hosted Cub Scout Pack 76
and 22 boys and their leaders had a great
time at the club flying field. Each Scout
got some time on the buddy box. They
each received a Delta Dart to take home.
Paul Morris sent in the pictures and
information.
The pre-flight instructions from Paul
came first.

buddy box.
There were 22 Scouts and 12 club
members present.
Leland, Illinois: Last September, the RC
Dusters club held its fall fun-fly. The
temperature should have been close to 70
degrees, but it was in the low 50s. There
should have been a breeze in the 5-10 mph
range but it was 20-25 mph.
In spite of the unexpected weather, 19
fliers from the club came out to fly. At
noon they broke for lunch, and many of the
spouses brought food to share.
The club’s field is an abandoned
airstrip that was once used to train pilots
for crop dusting. The information and
pictures came from Lee Ernest.
Here’s a line-up of members and their
airplanes.

lunch.

Cherokee ready for flight.
St. Louis, Missouri: The Kirkwood
Thermaleers, a Free Flight club, won the
2003 Jimmie Allen Postal Contest. The
contest started in 1995 and the
Thermaleers have been competing since
1996. Each year the competitors have
improved their scores and finally made to
the top.
Ten clubs from across the United States
and Canada entered this year. The
Thermaleers will have the club’s name
engraved on a beautiful perpetual trophy
and have the honor of running the contest
this year.
Hal Schwan who sent in the
information has the rules and plans.
Contact him at 105 Shady Valley Dr.,
Chesterfield MO 63017.
