Hi all! Flying season is well underway. I was able to attend Joe Nall Week this year, and what an event! I flew on four different flightlines. One was a Control Line circle and I got to fly the famous Plywood Overcast. There were many members, vendors, and spectators, and I met a bunch of great people.
I would love for our AMA NorthWest Jamboree to grow and be similar. Here are a couple of pictures:
Associate Vice President Mike Ingram was able to attend the Spring Scale Opener while I was at Joe Nall. Here is his report:
On May 19-21, the NorthWest Scale Aero-Modelers held its annual Spring Scale Opener at Weavers Field in Othello, Washington. Patrick Winters was the contest director for the event and, with assistance from his wife, Joyce, put on an awesome event. There were 27 entries, including a couple of first-timers who gave Scale competition a try.
Although it was unseasonably hot for this time in May, we were able to get five rounds of competition in the books. A big thank-you to all the helpers and judges who made the event run smoothly!
Lots more coming! I’ve been out flying and getting airplanes ready. I’m going to Weavers Field, the Indoor Free Flight Nats at the Kibbie Dome in Moscow, Idaho, and the AMA National Fun Fly in Muncie, Indiana, in the next couple of weeks. Reports and pictures to follow.
That’s all for this month. Keep building and flying.
