District XI Report - 2005/03

District XI was well represented at the
2004 Scalemasters Championships.
Several fliers from the Pacific Northwest
traveled to Gardner, Kansas.
Central Washington area winners
included Bob Patterson, Bob Heikell, and
Gene LaFond.
Dick Hansen of Portland, Oregon,
finished 15th with his Sopwith 11/2
Strutter. Bob Heikell of Moses Lake,
Washington, finished 19th with his
Bellanca Series J-Long Distance, a model
of the first aircraft to cross the Pacific. Bob
also received Best Golden Age, Best
Civilian, and Best Documentation Awards.
Gene LeFond, associate vice president
in District XI, had the test pilot honors on
this aircraft about a year ago. The history
of the full-scale aircraft make for very
interesting reading. Gene, from
Wenatchee, Washington, flew his Extra
300 to a 23rd spot.

THE FOLLOWING report and pictures
were sent in by Lynn Hendry, a member of
the Lewis-Clark Radio Control Model
Club (LCRCMC) located in Lewiston,
Idaho, and Clarkston, Washington.
Lynn wrote, “As a club, we are
attempting to get more involved in
community activities and make ourselves
known to the general public. Hopefully we
are getting out of the ‘negative rut’ the
club has found itself in for the past few
years.”
