12th Annual Northern California Regional Float Fly
The 12th Annual Northern California Regional Float Fly, held in Red Bluff, California on June 11–13, was a great success. Eighty-six pilots from five states attended the fly-in; everyone enjoyed picture-perfect weather with warm temperatures and no wind throughout the event.
The water at the Red Bluff Recreation Area provides an excellent venue for this popular float fly.
Post-Float Fly Feast
The post-Float Fly Feast, hosted by the Northern California Radio Control Unlimited Flyers (NCRCUF) in Anderson, California, has become another annual event. Two weeks after the regional float fly, CD Michael Brown brings the two sponsoring clubs—NCRCUF and the Redding Area Miniature Aircraft Club (RAMAC)—together for a potluck dinner at the local flying site. Members of both clubs enjoy each other's company and celebrate the success of the event.
The highlight of the Float Fly is always the Saturday night barbecue, made possible by the very special ladies in the kitchen. More than 120 hungry guests were served at this year's banquet.
Western Regional Scale Masters Qualifier
Contest Director Sam Wright of Rancho Santa Margarita headed up the 2004 Western Regional Scale Masters Qualifier held June 11–13 at the El Toro OCMA Field in Irvine, California. This year's scale qualifier included Expert, Team Scale, Sportsman, Sportsman II, Fun Scale, and an outdoor Italian banquet at the Cucina Romano Patio.
Featured Aircraft
David Searles of Santa Ana, California, has an impressive Bigairplanes 41% (108-inch) Pitts Model 12 powered by a 3W 200. Dave first flew his 41% Pitts 12 at the 2004 Joe Nall Giant Scale Fly-in and has entered it in the JR-SCAT Scale Aerobatic Series.
