Volunteer — AMA Publications Committee
I am looking for someone who might be interested in serving as a volunteer on the AMA Publications Committee, which I chair. This person should have experience in computer graphics, a background in publishing, and, of course, be a modeler. If any qualified members are interested, please contact me at the address or e-mail address in the column header.

Club activities and reports
The New Hudson Airport authority in Michigan invited members of the Ribcrackers Model Airplane Club to participate in the airport's open house. The club set up a display of models and handed out aeromodeling information. Members invited interested people out to their field on Wednesday nights. This is a good way clubs can generate interest among people who aren’t aware of our hobby and sport. Rick Kacmarsky submitted this report.
The second annual Michigan Musciano Fun Fly was held at the Kalamazoo Air Zoo. The West Michigan Smoke Rings (Kalamazoo), the Radio Control Club of Detroit, and the Lansing Area Flying Aces teamed up to sponsor this CL (control-line) event. The event honored the legendary Walt Musciano, a designer of model aircraft for more than 50 years. Some outstanding aircraft were displayed and flown despite windy conditions given the small size of the aircraft. Awards were given in various categories.
Mark Robotti, District VII associate vice president, reported on the Delta Dart build-and-fly sponsored by the Saint Croix Valley R/C Club in Lindstrom, Minnesota. The club supplied all materials for local Boy Scout Troop 172. After the building session, the Darts took to the air. This is another excellent example of club involvement.
These examples are offered to give you some ideas. What has your club done lately?
Till next time, get involved, have fun, and fly safely — and take a youngster to your flying site. Someone took you. C.A.V.U.
