Radio Control: Electrics
THIS COLUMN WILL COVER upcoming meets, some new companies/products, a new Electric Special Interest Group, thoughts on battery installation options, and a sacrilege (?) The Seventh Annual BCRCC Electric Fly is scheduled for Saturday, May 20 at the Burlington County RC Club's field in Bordentown NJ. This location is a easy shot from the New Jersey Turnpike, and you can get all the details from CD Bob Afflerback (123 Harrington Circle, Willingboro NJ 08046; Tel.: (609) 871-8777). If this name sounds familiar, Bob's six-year-old E-flying son Richie appeared twice in the January issue-with father Bob taking the background, of course.

THIS MONTH WE'LL OPEN with some sad news, then look at upcoming E-meets, new products, testing motors, "watts it like?" a golden opportunity for NEAC, and one "I did it!" My friend, fellow E-modeler, and fellow E-columnist Charlie Spear of Mocksville NC departed the flying field of life on Monday, February 27 following a recent illness. I first met Charlie at a KRC meet about a decade ago and had flown with him nearly every year since at KRC and/or at the Annual Labor Day Vintage Reunion in Selinsgrove PA. I always enjoyed these shared happy times and I will miss Charlie a great deal.

THIS MONTH WE'LL COVER the Electric Connection Service; additional MaxCim information; info on a potential symposium tape; the rapid maturing of Electric; and some motor/prop/battery basics. President Pete George of the just-formed St. Louis Chargers Electric club wrote to tell me of this new organization and to invite all interested to get in touch. You can reach Pete at 2127 Arsenal, St. Louis MO 63118; Tel.: (314) 664-6613. While the new club does not yet have a home field, most members are also members of other (non-E) clubs or have a permit to fly at a local park. Pete hopes to promote E-flying in the area by co-sponsoring activity with some other clubs. As a reminder to all, this column's Electric Connection Service is designed to "hook you up" with other nearby Electric activity. Just write, and I'll get your info or request in an upcoming column.

THIS MONTH'S TOPICS include an unusual Electric Connection Service; a "club call"; a reader query; the 1995 KRC Electric Fly Seminar schedule; and continuing discussion of motor/prop/battery basics. Ron Torrito, a longtime E-modeler in the Northern Connecticut Radio Control Club, wrote to tell me of his interest in communicating with other E-minded modelers on Internet. Ron was asking if the ECS could be used to list Net addresses in the hope of encouraging such communication. Sure!

THIS MONTH'S TOPICS include a reminder "Club Call;" an October Meet; tiny R/C Electric; using some Master Airscrew products; balancing props; and some followup on the Sig Wonder. All Electric clubs (or clubs with significant Electric participation/activity, looking for more E-membership) are invited to write me for the purpose of being listed in an early '96 column. Also, clubs with Electric newsletters that are available to anyone should indicate this, along with how one can obtain a subscription. This is a reminder carried over from the last column (see September 1995 MA for more detail)-please don't miss out. Help me help you and all of E-modeldom.
