We have decided to do a club build over the winter this year. Our objective is twofold: First, to build an advanced trainer for club use. Second, to get our members comfortable with building a kit, rather just arf's. Kit building seems to be becoming a lost art, one that we need tro keep going. We chose a Carl Goldberg Tiger 2 .60 kit, generously donated by Rider's Hobby Shop of Grand Rapids.

Click for full sizeAMA District 7 VP Tim Jesky and Education Director Bill Pritchett visited West Michigan Aviation Academy earlier this year to see the program that George Pavey has put together. Visiting on one of the mornings that the R/C club meets, Mr. Jesky and Mr. Pritchett got to experience the students love of aviation and the level to which KRAM members are helping. They were thoroughly impressed with not only the school, their kids and faculty, but with our interaction with the school! So much so, that we got a full page write-up in Model Aviation, February 2013, page 154. Click the image to read it full-size.

A BIG thanks goes out to all of our members that have been volunteering each week. This is proof that your efforts have not gone unnoticed or unappreciated!!
