EVENT SANCTION COORDINATORS

This month, I want to highlight the fifth Las Vegas Stunt Challenge, held November 3-6, 2022, and hosted by the Las Vegas Circle Burners. The event was held at the William Bennett RC Airfield that was the home of the William Bennett Tournament of Champions. The recently renovated runway includes dual Control Line (CL) circles.
This year’s contest was expanded to four days and the weather was great. Thanks go out to the team from the Las Vegas R/C Club that provided food during the event so that all could enjoy the continuous flying. Many thanks to Reuben MacBride, Contest Director (CD) Steven MacBride, and the team of volunteers that hosted this great event.
The various classes of airplanes and flying at the event broke into classes from Old-Time Stunt, Profile Stunt, Classic Aerobatics, Nostalgia 30s, and Expert and Advanced Precision Aerobatics Model Pilots Association (PAMPA) events. Although there were many local pilots, some came from as far away as Tennessee and Canada.
The Las Vegas Circle Burners was formed in 2011 to provide a flying site and promote CL flying. PAMPA is an AMA SIG. It has members in 35 countries, with a common interest in CL model airplanes. Precision CL Aerobatics has a rich history, debuting as a national competition in 1941.
Feel free to reach out with any questions, comments, recommendations, or issues. There is much to share across the district. Enjoy everything that you build and fly.
