Flying/Building Reports
Joe Bolden reported that he has been building, not flying.
Vance Penton is too busy with his business for modeling.
Steve Overley
sold some planes to Charlie Townsend in Lewiston. Steve has been
painting planes and riding his new bike. A Spitfire is for sale for $90
- repainted with green and sand camo scheme using "Apple Barrel" brand
paints in an airbrush.
Don Hart has been flying indoors in Asotin and continues to build on his large Mojo 65 profile project.
Bruce Bumgarner has been flying his Blade heli (needs parts after accident at the Snow Fly). Bruce is currently painting his new Fun Cub.
Ken Shumate
(new member) has had a problem binding his Spektrum DX6i transmitter
and receiver. Probably a bad ESC not providing power. Don Hart brought
a 4.8V receiver battery and servo to the meeting and successfully got
the binding to work.
Elmer Carlson has been working on his Crackerjack build.
Old Business
Super Bowl Snow Fly ReportFifteen
attended the event. The weather was good enough (no snow and light
winds) that 6 pilots flew. There was lots of great food and hanger
flying.
New Business
Mall Show?
Colleen Bumgarner
will contact the Palouse Mall for a possible mall show date. Probably
late March. The big question is whether enough members are available to
man the display for three days.
Program
Elmer Carlson showed the
uncovered fuselage for his Crackerjack building project. Elmer started
the project in 1985 followed by about a 18 year gap.
A
cabane jig is used to align the wing above the fuselage at a +2 degree
incidence. Elmer needs to build eight 5/16" brass tubing struts to
mount the wing. The planned power is an OS120 twin four-stroke (if
Elmer can locate one).
Upcoming Events
Polar Bear Fly-In was re-scheduled for Saturday March 2 at the Mann Lake RC field near Lewiston.
