August 2012 - KRAM - Kent Radio Aero Modelers

Greetings KRAM,

Is it really almost September?! How the flying season...ummm, flies! Does everyone have their winter build list ready? Danny organized a nice casual fun-fly for us a few weekends ago. About 8 of us competed for bragging rights and a small prize on a beautiful Saturday morning. Timed flight, spot landings, limbo, cut the ribbon and of course the deadly doughnut drop were all attempted. For once, the doughnut drop didn't claim any planes! Unlike the week prior when 6 planes met the corn, all planes from the fun-fly went home in-tact! Yours truly won the day with my foamy bipe, and Danny and Johnathan Covington flying his Sensei trainer tied for 2nd. Johnathan chose a prop-balancer from the box as his prize. Thanks to Danny for organizing it!

As most of you know, our field location has been of some discussion at the last few meetings. Lee Frederickson and I got a chance to talk with Fred Oesch at the Wingeier Breakfast Fly-In this last Saturday. He was happy to see us and generally said, if we're happy, he's happy! We also informed him of the unanimous vote at the last meeting to not even consider moving the field. He was busy cooking for the visitors, so we didn't take up much of his time but we will go over what was discussed with him at the next meeting.

And finally as a quick reminder, our Veterans Fly-In is coming up on Sept 8th! The bus-load of vets has been confirmed, so lets get a bunch of us out there and show them a good time! Warbirds aren't required, so just bring something that flies! Our club meeting on the 4th will go over final details for the fly-in. Until then...

Keep your wings level and altitude positive,
Nik
