and may this be a crash free year to all! We had a good turnout of mem-bers for this years First Flyer Event. The participants were Steven Dod-son, Reagan Paquette, Bill Judd, Mike Spangler, Stu Kitchens, Chris Helwig, Eric Barker, Jerry Buckley,

and Curtis Merriman. Curtis Merri-man won this year’s Event. Congrat-ulations Curtis. Sam Dowling and Brian LaRochelle were the end of runway judges and Tim Fitzwater was out to watch. The field was split between glow and electric with 5 glow planes and 4 electrics. Every-one eventually got in a flight and a few of us flew for a while after-wards. The field was cleared out by 0930. Thanks to Reagan for the gen-erator with lights, coffee & hot choc-olate and Sam and I brought out the donuts. I left my camera at home so there are no pictures. Maybe we will get some SNOW Friday and we’ll be able to fly our ski equipped planes this weekend. See you all then. Arti-cle by Steve. Picture of Curtis by Stu. Thanks Steve for fine artile-NEWS ED

TO These Fine January Flyers

MARK HOLLOWAY

BILL KENNEDY

The two pictures above are Buddy Scott showing his Christmas present a little quad copter. It is about three inches big, really cute and fun to watch it fly. Thanks Buddy!

Here is an expression I used to hear a lot.

WHEN IN TROUBLE WHEN IN DOUBT RUN IN CIRCLES, JUMP AND SHOUT

Do You Know Of Any Other Solution?

Okay here is a question, my fellow flyers. How many of you are in compliance with AMA safety code rule Number 6 ?

6. I will not fly my Model Aircraft unless it is identified with my name and address, or AMA number, in-side or affixed to the outside of the model aircraft. This does not apply to model aircraft flown indoors.

If you should lose your aircraft dur-ing flight without this little bit of information, it may cause you some problems with AMA’s insurance if it has caused damage to life or property. So Let’s Be Careful Out There!

I have several of those little AMA signs to be used for just the infor-mation that AMA wants inside your aircraft. Let me know if you want or need them.

Future Sale: I am planning to sell many of my model airplanes that I no longer fly. All the airplanes are built from kits with the exception of two that are ARF’s, I need to determine a fair price that will be a lot less than the airplane is worth but not a give away.

I will from time to time list the airplanes and their price. If you are interested, please let me know by e-mail for a look see, either at my home or the flying field. STU

MR MULLIGAN MR MULLIGAN A RACER THAT WON BOTH THE THOMPSON and
