Model Airplane Meet Set for April 21
The OKRC Cloudbusters Radio Controlled Model Airplane Club will have an AMA sanctioned Spring Fly-In on Saturday, April 21 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The location is at the flying field located between Grove and Fairland. (From SH 125, 1/4mile east on Co.Rd.210, then turn left (N) into Lebow’s Topsoil Farm, proceed north to the flying field, (1/4th mile).
All pilots must belong to the Academy of Model Aeronautics for safety and insurance reasons.
The club has about 40 members from the Fairland, Grove, Miami, and surrounding area. An expected 30 to 40 flyers from a 100 mile radius of Grove will attend, to display flying skills from novice to advanced, and airplanes weighing from a few ounces to 20. Also several of the planes will have electric propulsion motors powered from the new technology Lithium Ion batteries.
Organizers said "we are extending this invitation to the public, to come on out, observe the pilots, their aircraft, and to try your skill at flying. We will have a trainer plane, a buddy box system and an accomplished pilot to assist you. Some of the older persons can remember “when”, and the younger persons may see an opportunity to learn a new hobby that provides both the fun of flying as well as the skills of building if desired. Some outstanding piloting skills will be seen and your questions answered to the best of our ability. Occasionally you will get to see a 6foot wingspan airplane fit into a garbage bag (not a guaranteed event)."
