Hi All, A huge thankyou to Jim Grant for sponsoring the Poker Fun Fly. Obviously, we wish that the weather would have cooperated last week as a number of members who were planning on coming last week could not make it this week. But while it was a bit cool today, the sun was shining and overall it was a great day for flying.

Hi All, As you know, the annual Swap Meet is in three weeks, on Sunday, October 18. I have sent out emails to every RC club within 100 miles of Grand Rapids inviting them to the event.

Hi all, We are planning on the Poker Fun Fly this Saturday. Please come before 9:30. The pilots’ meeting is at 9:30 and then flying. The weather is supposed to be sunny with only a light breeze.

Anyone else can bring any light food that they want to share: donuts, muffins, chips, fruit, cookies, finger food, etc. That way we will at […]
Poker Fun Fly – September 26th
Hi All, Unfortunately I have to cancel the Poker Fun Fly for tomorrow. 😢 The weather forecast has not improved; they are predicting a lot of rain. Therefore, we will try for next Saturday, September 26. At this point, I am NOT planning on the picnic. However, if I can work out details for a picnic, I will let you know later. But plan on the Poker Fun Fly for next week Saturday. I guess that I am a “bad luck” president. We had to cancel our summer picnic due to rain. A few weeks ago we had to cancel […]
