It's too bad you're not about 3 province West or I'd take you up on that very kind and generous offer.

Maybe it'll catch on and someone near you will give you a hand. As they say, the longest journey starts with the first step. lol

Re: Give RC flying a free try

Always offered that; LT-40, Kadet Senior, Aerostar 60, whatever I have available. I have had 20 or 25 people do their intro flights with my planes, and have trained some as well while they were assembling theirs. Never had a crash during those sessions, either. (I do that on my own!)

Hey Max,

Were' not picky where the members come from...we'll even let members from your area join our club all the better for the hobby as a whole. Looking forward to this coming weekend AMAC swap-meet, you guys had a great idea with the open invite to other local clubs to promote themselves and the hobby...should be a great show.

Karl
