Buzzard Droppings January 2004 |

Our kit arrived on Santa's sled on Christmas 2003. This is the U-Can-Do 3D from Great Planes! Someone must have been a good boy because it was quite a surprise. This is a model that is designed to help teach flying 3D. If you have had a chance to watch one of the Model R/C air shows where Chip Hyde, and others put their 40 lb planes through the paces, you probably caught the "gotta learn this" bug. Of course these pilots use specially designed models for their demos... Just like this one.

Our club is dedicated to the safe pursuit and advancement of model aviation. We offer the newcomer free lessons to learn how to build models and to fly them. If you should have any questions about the club, flight instruction or membership requirements, call any of the club officers. We have a safety checklist available for those new to our flying field. Use of a computer simulator is advisable. This allows you to practice safely and will end up saving you hundreds of dollars in the long run. Still, in any case, the best way to learn to fly R/C planes is by finding an instructor to help. Learning on your own can be expensive and somewhat less safe. We provide instruction for both building model aircraft as well as flying these models. In most cases, a buddy box system is used at the flying field. Experience has shown this to be the safest method to learn. Those who want to enroll in the pilot training should contact Rick Hanners (phone number is on the list below) or our club secretary, Bob Martin at (425) 483-2348. Pilots already enrolled in the training program are welcome to contact any of the club instructors. Current Flight Instructors: Dave Bell 425 672-4249 Ray Gilkey 360 668-2746 Rick Hanners 360 668-1312 Karl Schaefer 425 259-1824 Ron Swift 425 788-6045 |
