District VI Report - 2009/09

168 MODEL AVIATION
BOWLING GREEN, KENTUCKY: Club
1158, the Southern Kentucky Model Aero
Club, was invited to give a lecture at Drakes
Creek Middle School on RC planes and
Aviation during science day.
Finis Cary and Dennis Baack spent the
entire day doing six periods with 40-60
seventh graders in the gym. After the
lecture, the youngsters were invited to fly
the Horizon Vapor and the E-flight Blade
MCX.
After more than 200 students flew, only
one helicopter was damaged. The girls seem
to have more fun and quite often did a better
job of flying. Pictures and information were
supplied by associate vice president (AVP)
Dennis Baack.
Saint Louis, Missouri: Lou Matusik sent in
a couple of pictures from the Greater Saint
Louis Model Aviation Air Show. This event
was held at Buder Park with various
modelers providing RC flight training to
youngsters.
Vincennes, Indiana: Club 300, the Tri
County Aero Club, had the mayor of
Vincennes, Al Baldwin, visit the club’s Take
off And Grow (TAG) program.
The first picture is of a club member giving
the mayor some buddy-box time.

directed the renovation.
