An outstanding event in District II for more than 20 years has been the Northeast Electric Aircraft Technology (NEAT) Fair. Held at the Peaceful Valley Campgrounds in Downsville, New York, and nestled in the quiet Catskill Valley, the NEAT Fair attracts electric model enthusiasts from across the US and the world. With a 1,700-foot grass runway, a pond for float flying, and a beautiful campground, a fun experience awaits spectators, modelers, and their families.
The NEAT Fair is made possible through the hard work of the Silent Electric Flyers of Long Island (SEFLI) and the guidance of NEAT founder Tom Hunt, with primary sponsorship coming from Barren Technology and HobbyKing.
Every year, NEAT participants and spectators can expect to see new and unusual electric aircraft. The 2021 event, on September 16-19, was no exception.
Although the complexion of the NEAT Fair has changed slightly throughout the years, the fun factor has not. The 2021 event featured a record-long flightline! The usual events, such as combat, indoor flying, the noontime demonstrations, night flying, and some other nighttime hijinks, have continued.
If you’ve never been to the NEAT Fair, or if you’re a regular participant, don’t miss next year’s event on September 15-18, 2022. You can see more at www.neatfair.org.
Remember, it’s not about what you fly, it’s about the friends you make!
