Joe Cole's "Work of art"!  It's a Carl Goldberg 1938 Valkyrie with a 10 ft. span & 6 ft. fuse built from a short kit.

George Eheman's new Ultrs Stick electric with Floats.

It's a E- flight Ultra Stick 25e ARF.

"I put a Phaser 30/3 motor in it with 10 NiMH cells".

"This motor will handle 88 oz's that's 5.5 pounds and my plane weights just at 4.3/4 pounds".

A view from all angles.        My name is George Eheman I was in the Coast Guard station aboard the CG 83527, the year was 1955, I found out on the web that the boat was moored in California and for sale.  It was taken to Seattle Washington and refurbish and is now sailing the Puget Sound area.  I was told it's the only 83 footer in existence. That was 56 years ago.  I've been in contact with several of my ship mates, they said if I could come out to Seattle I could go for a ride.  I only wish it was closer.

       If any of you are interested I will make a page and put stories of your service years and pictures of the boats or planes or what ever you did when you were in the armed services.

       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.
