Fred and his crew did a great job with the changes to the storage shed. Everyone put in a lot of work and the field really shows it!

Others commented that they felt safer flying there with the new fences. None of the pilots seemed to notice the change in the flight line (our dead sticks were landed successfully).

Comment: Before the meeting was started, many RC Models of all shapes and sizes for the First Annual Barnyard Buzzard Builder’s Competition were brought in to the library. Thanks guys for bringing them!  The library room was filled with members and guests.  We seemed to have the largest number of meeting attendees ever!

 

President Ron Swift called the monthly meeting of the Barnyard Buzzard Model Airplane Club, Inc. to order at 7:00 PM at
