These are some of the planes that have flown at the new field.

Hello Again

 Since we have a revival of the Fremont County RC Club (FCRCC) I thought I would start off our old blog. I've tried to add new new contributes, so we shall see how we use this blog.

The photo is my recently completed RUBUO. An obscure model with a Saito 91 power plant.  Now that the club has a new flying field I hope to test fly it soon. If it is a keeper I'll add the cowl and more decals. 

I hope more of the club members use this blog to post club items of interest

 

 

Fun-Fly Report for May 13th

I got a report from Sonny. There were only two fliers, Ken Conway and Kenny McMullen, at the scheduled Saturday morning Fun-Fly. Apparently there was no interest in having a competition. They just wanted to fly on that nice day. Ken Conway sprayed for weeds and then flew his Telemaster. Kenny flew his beautiful MX. See picture below:

Anyway when his 55 AX suddenly quit, Kenny proceeded to get it down quick and had to land across the width of the runway.. The result was a torn off landing gear. He is planning to repair the the damage from the "dead stick" landing.

A New Mystery

So a few days ago Gary Iovinella was driving into our flying field and his pathway was blocked by a brand new wooden flight stand. He opened the gate and proceeded to drag the stand to the flight line.

The photo below is the new mystery stand. Gary has his new Telemaster resting on the new stand.

So now we need to know who is the mystery donor. I have an idea but does anyone know? We need to thank the person who constructed and donated this wonderful gift.

I sent out an email to everyone with the flyer attached for more information.

First Fun-Fly of 2015!!

Can you believe it ??? Our first fun-fly happened Saturday. It took Cloyce to get everyone motivated and get started competing in a "Climb 'n Glide". And almost everyone there competed. Climb for 30 seconds and then glide for as long as possible (more on the "possible") and total flight time was recorded. So here are the results:

Pilot               Plane                  Time Min:Sec

Cloyce           Senorita             6:26
Dennis           Pilot                     4:14
Cloyce           Twist                   2:09
Ron                E-Stick                2:05
Bobby            Twist                   2:04
Marlowe        Drastik                 1:55
Larry              Arrow                   1:40
Gary              Arrow                   1:39

An interesting observation is how little time it takes from engine quit until meeting the ground unless you have a light, high wing plane.

In order to extend the "dead stick" landing, many of the pilots chose to stretch it too much resulting in some crashes. One Twist was destroyed and a Stick pancaked hard just to squeeze out a few extra seconds. But a good time was had by all.

Cloyce lecturing to a bunch of the guys.
Notice how the new, but incomplete, sunshade is being utilized by everyone who can fit underneath it.
