Dear BCFT Members,
 
I have decided after many years as a dedicated remote control airplane flyer, to get out of the hobby.  Regretfully, I seem to have lost the motivation to fly.  Many of you know me well and there are lots of you whom I have never met.  I will miss the summer evenings flying with friends and fellowshipping with buddies.  With the events of my own family just a few years ago, and now the most recent passing of our good friend Mark, I see an opportunity I should take.  My son Matthew and his wife had my first grandchild last year and I plan to spend countless hours spoiling her to no end.
 
I say all of that to say this; I have decided to sell my entire hobby.  I will be attending the Fly-in on Saturday the 27th, and will be bringing all that I have to sell.  My wife is going to be having a garage sale tomorrow the 20th.  Although I will not be putting any of my planes or hobby items out for sale, they will be available for any of the club members to come by and purchase.  The following list is not all that I have, but covers the major items:

This is a sample of what I have for sale.  There is allot more I know but I think it is to much to list.  Please feel free to stop by tomorrow and/or at the field next Saturday and browse what I have.  My address is 691 Napa Ave, in Centerton.  Turn right at the light by McDonalds and go about a quarter mile to Bliss Street.  Turn left on Bliss and go about a mile to Napa Ave.  Turn right on Napa and it will be about 5 houses down on the left.
 
I hope I have something you can fly and enjoy.

       I publish Metro Area R/C Flying to make a central web site for all the area R/C clubs, not to replace individual club sites, but to tie all of them together and promote growth and interaction between clubs. The most important service of the web site is to post the Metro Area Schedule. The schedule lists all the events for all the clubs in one location so that R/C flyers can see what events are available in the area and plan ahead. I believe it will also help the area clubs to work out their schedules so that one clubs events, will not conflict, with another's. The next most important service is to provide a Map Page that has maps to all the events, meetings, dinners and parties. Right after that comes the Newsletter Page which lists all of the different club newsletters. Reading other club newsletters lets members see what others are offering in the area that they are interested in and promotes interaction between clubs. Perhaps an even more important item is the New Flyers Page that gives new members information they need to join a club and become part of our R/C community. This is your web site, if you would like to show-off your newest plane, or share an experience, you can E-Mail pictures and articles to me. There’s an E-Mail Link on every page.
