2018 is the 28th anniversary of this event!! For this year, we are moving the event to Seven Lakes State Park in Holly, MI! A site used for spring and fall float flying in past - with DNR camping available. In tribute to the event founder that passed away in 2014, we are calling the event the "Darrell Watts Memorial Midwest Regional Float Fly". Our largest flying event of the year, this 2 day extravaganza has continued to grow. Past years have had 80-100 pilots, and even more planes. This event has brought national recognition to the club. In recent years, Flying Models Magazine has covered our event - including Cover Photos and Feature Articles in March 2014 (2013 event) and February 2010 (2009 event) as well as an additional Feature Artice in February 2013 (2012 event). Over the years we have had articles and covers in RCModeler and R/C Report magazines, a feature article in Model Aviation, and feature videos from SKS Video. See Media Coverage for more details!
This event is two full days of flying. Open flying both days for all pilots on seven flight lines.
Sunday is a pilots drawing for those that participated - with some great prizes (must be present).Have questions or need more information about this event, contact us via email at: floatfly@skymasters.org or call: David Wendt at 248-805-1404.
