The
action became hot and heavy and the sky filled with streamers when Tom
Fenn, Chip Hyde and a couple more pilots performed a combat flying exhibition.
It was AWESOME!
A pilot from Tucson , named Alex (didn’t get his last name), trilled all present with his X-60 helicopter. He made that aircraft perform maneuvers I’ve never seen done before. There was also a moment of excitement when one of the pilots experienced a malfunction with his radio and lost control of his aircraft. That flying machine was headed south at a fast clip. Luckily the pilot was able to regain control and bring in the aircraft to a three-point landing. All in all it was great day for all those present. Become part of the tradition. Next New Years Day come on out and enjoy the fun! The President’s Corner In March MMRCC will be conducting another static display at the Mall in Sierra Vista. The date has tentatively been set for Saturday March 10, 2001 from 0900-1600. I have been in contact with Ms. Anna Steffen , the Marketing Director for the Mall, and she’s excited that we would like to return for another display. |
Events
such as these are good for the community as well as promoting the Radio
Control Aircraft Hobby.
MMRCC is looking for someone who is building an aircraft or a portion of an aircraft. We would like for that person to work on a portion of the aircraft during the display, to give the public an idea how the aircraft are built. Anyone interested in doing this please contact me. On January 12, I received and E-mail from Tom Fenn stating that there was a young lady at the field from the city of Sierra Vista to look at the paving project. She said the survey was on her desk and that it was a single item, not attached to another project. The monies have been allocated for this fiscal year and that means completion not later than the end of June. She thought the project was not far from starting. It appears that our runway will soon be paved! Also in the works is a Cross-Country flight that will be conducted sometime this summer. All of these events are club sponsored and we need your help. Anyone interested in helping please contact any club officer. The Mesquite Modelers Club is what the members make of it. If our club is going to continue to flourish, membership participation is an essential ingredient. This is going to be an exciting year! Onward and upward!
