As the year progresses, a variety of events are going on in District X.
I had the honor of attending a fun-fly at the Tucson Radio Control Club to recognize their oldest active member, Billy Plunket, who turned 95 on June 2. Billy has been active at the club since before the club’s inception in the early 1970s and is one of the founding members. He continues to be at the field flying several times a week, and the club gave him a new airplane.
We also recognized the club with a 50th Anniversary Award. One of the events was an egg drop from cups that were attached to the top of airplanes, where they had to maneuver to drop the egg on the target.
In central California, the Clovis RC Club held its annual Jets Over California event. Jet enthusiasts attended from near and far. The variety covered all sizes of sport and scale jets.
The legacy of the Castle Giant Scale event continues, with the Festival of Giants being held at the Reedley Airport again this year. Following the pandemic years, where events paused, and now continue to get back to their past attendances, there is no lack of incredible aircraft that make their way to this event. Jerry Abel brought his restored C-5 and proceeded to fly it inverted.
Feel free to reach out with any questions, comments, recommendations, or issues. There is much to share across the district.
Enjoy everything you build and fly.
