                Bring some show and tell and see you at the meeting.

KCSE is having their Turkey Fly this coming Saturday(11/4) at 9:30 out at our Edgerton Field. If it is typical this is our most heavily attended flying event. It's fun flying off of winches with some unusual rounds like Pro/Am (highest and lowest scorer matched together), required aerobatics, and we will probably have a state team event as well. Pilots are coming from all over Kansas and Oklahoma. Lunch will most likely be Chili at the field. Come join us for a great one day fun fly.

      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 a club event, will not conflict, with another club's event. The next most important service is to provide a Page that has maps to all the events, meetings, dinners and parties. Right after that comes the Newsletter Page which lists 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.  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 at: MetroRCFlying@Gmail.com  There’s an Email Link on every page.
