Our largest event with National recognition...


2007 marks our 17th anniversary of this event! Our largest flying event of the year, this 2 day extravaganza has continued to grow. With over 100 pilots, and even more planes, this event brings national recognition to the club. For several years, RCModeler magazine has run a feature article on this event. Our 1998 event resulted in the Cover Photo and Feature Article in the August 1999 issue. The 1999 event was another RCM Cover Photo in 2000. The 2003 event was also a feature article in the August 2004 issue of RCModeler. Our 2005 Raffle Prize was the subject of a product review, and cover photo in the June 2006 issue of R/C Report!
Since 1999, our event has been featured in an SKS Video production! Videos of our 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, and 2006 are available! SKS Video will be back in 2008 to film again!
