District XI
Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington
Hi all. It is the middle of the flying season as I write this. I’ve been very busy and so have many of our district members. I went to our AMA Northwest Jamboree in Shelton, Washington, and made a trip to Muncie, Indiana, for an Executive Council meeting.
I also went to Silver Hills RC Flyers to make the maiden flight of a 40% Hempel Clipped Wing Cub and got to spend one weekend at home! Here are some pictures:
Associate Vice President (AVP) Rick Crow sent me a report:
The Big Sky Radio Control Black Horse Field’s 40th Anniversary Open House was held on July 8, 2023, in Great Falls, Montana. The club hosted pilots from across the state of Montana for this event.
Dan Woods is the president of the club, which has a very active schedule of events. Don Gilles, Darrell Anderson, and David Grosse are the club officers.
As this article hits, I know we will be right at the time that the Remote ID rule is taking effect. I can’t see into the future, but I know there will be many questions.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me or one of the district AVPs to get answers. My personal feeling is that this will be a bump in the road and we will get through it. Please don’t let it throw you!
That’s all for this month. Next time, I’ll have attended two RC Scale events and I’m sure more. Keep building and flying!
