Hi Everyone.

 

Well its New Years Eve and another year has come to an end.  It went very fast. 

 

First I want to thank all of you for being such great club members.  Weather you fly Gas electric electic or no motor at all you can say we have a great club.  Let me see what I can bring up in my memory....

As for get togethers the fun fly on the first was well attended.  We had Heli's going a lot alot of airplanes in the air.  It was a good day for flying. 

Our Fun fly CD'd by Jim Carroll went off very well.  Brent's Brother swept all the awards with his very nice P-47.  Its hard not to admire such a nice warbird.

SEFF was next and Jason with the help of some friends out did himself cooking and be a great host in Americus GA.  He was there I believe most of the week.  He had a good time and the YCF and others enjoyed it as well.

Joe Nall the grand daddy of Fun flies was up next.  BIG doesn't doesnt describe it.  You have to go to get the feel for it.  The YCF was there in force with Brent holding down a spot in the 3D area.  I only made it for a day but enjoyed my time there meeting and making new friends.

YCF DLG Festival was on Fathers Day Weekend and was success . High gas prices kept some away but we had a good turn out.  This helps our club with the finances and the guys really enjoy the contest.  Kudo's to our club....

Summer Fest had a good turn out and we had a lot alot of fun.  This was the former Big Bird and hopefully it will return but for now its a fun fly.  Brent ran this very well and it will continue on for years to come.

Fallin Eagle Electric Fun Fly.  This was Russe's first time running this event.  The weather was cooler than in the past but we still had a good turn out.  Combat really has been popular at this event.  It amazes me some of the nice builds that come to this event.  I hope this will be a great event in the future.

An impromptu Huck Fest was held. It was not a scheduled event but the food was great.  Having the Extreme flight guys come to our field is always exciting as they are very good about showing everyone how to do maneuvers they are performing.  It was windy but Chris Jewett was out flying all his battery packs out.

E-Nall was in its first year.  About 327 registered to fly.  It was windy so a lot alot of the people left early on Saturday morning.  I took my 2 girls with me and they had a ball.  Camping at the Joe Nall venue is a lot of fun.  Ill be back for this event again.  Oh and the food was great.....

I have to thank 2 people their time as servents to the club.  Doug Spirrell for his time of Treasurer to the club.  I wont say he is anal but he is anal about the club funds.  For 2 years he has kept the book in perfect condition.  Thanks for doing this Doug.  I think Norm will have an easy transition.  Jason Jones has been the secretary for his 2 year term and did a fantastic job.  This web site is because of him.  He added things I wanted like this Presidents message.  He is not only a web czar but he and Brent continue to cook great food along with Holland.  At all the events Jason my not be there but his trailer is.  He gracious enough to let others use his portable work shop so we can all enjoy ourselves. 

 

So if haven't havent guessed it we have a great group.  Get out and fly with us tomorrow.  It might be windy but we will be out there to have some fun and just hangar fly..

 

Its been a great year..
