SWIFT EVENTS at the COBRA field.

 

 

SWIFT members will be flying gliders at the COBRA field on Saturday or Sunday through out the season pending other events at the field. This will be a good time to practice launching, landing and just getting in stick time. The field will remain open to all flying. Check the BBS for info.

The scores for the LINOMA, Longest Flight of the Year and the Presidents Cup event’s are posted on the web page .

After the last LINOMA event Loren flew a KA-6 glider towed by a scale Wilga tow aircraft flown by Tom. See the LASS news letter for photos. http://members.aol.com/lassnl3/NL0709.pdf 

Very impressive. Ok SWIFT guys, lets get hot this winter on scale gliders.

September agenda:

(1) Treasure report.

(2) Closer planning.

(3) LINOMA planning hosted by LASS.

(4) Report from Dan L on flying field expletory project.

Bring something to fly in the parking lot after the meeting. If the weather is fair, we should have some daylight for flying in the parking lot.

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

      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.
