Well the new year is well under-way and I don’t think any of us have had to fly with skis yet! Quite an odd winter we’re having so far. The first ‘official’ KRAM meeting of 2012 was a little over a week ago and if you missed it, well…better not miss the next one! The yearly club events have been penciled in, here’s a summary:
– TAG training day – May 23
– Memorial Fly-In – June 16
– Club picnic – July 21
– Veterans Fly-In – Sept 8
– Swap Shop – Oct 28
I’m sure we’ll setup some fun-flys in-between there somewhere, so keep an eye on your email and the website for updates!
We had 4 (YES 4!) airplanes at the last meeting for some show-and-tell. Our newest member, Corey, brought his GP Super Skybolt that he recovered. It’s very sharp! David Pierce brought in his new seaplane covered in a Coast Guard scheme. Al Smith brought in his newly finished Somethin’ Extra which should be great for a fun-fly! And Danny brought in our completed 2012 raffle plane, a Hangar 9 P-47. He said other than some curse words thrown at a poorly designed cowl, the plane went together well. It’s a sharp covering scheme and should draw some attention and tickets! Thanks Danny for putting together yet another club raffle plane! Hobby World donated the plane again this year, and gave us a great deal on the engine and servos, so PLEASE be sure to tell Butch “Thanks!” next time you’re in. If you have a plane, completed or not, that you’d like to show off…please feel free to bring it to the meeting.
And just a quick reminder that the board members, myself included, are available for anyone that needs help, has concerns or suggestions regarding the club, or any issues regarding the club, our rules, or our members. Please feel free to email/call, and we’ll help you with anything we can. I look forward to the year ahead and expect some great flying and clear skies ahead!
Keep your altitude positive and your wings level,
Nik
PS – I’m in the process of doing some changes to our roster online. If you have a picture of you or you and one of your planes, email it to me along with your name so we can have a face to put to the names! (Kingma I’m betting you have a good bunch of them, if you wouldnt mind selecting some…)
