Club News
A Message from the President
Everyone,
Sadly, due to the President/Governor extending the ‘Stay at Home’ order until 4 May, we will be cancelling our Competition scheduled for this Saturday, 4 April, as well as the Club meeting on 14 April.
I do hope that everyone is healthy and safe, and not going too ‘stir crazy’. This gives us an outstanding opportunity to work on our ‘Winter Build’ program, our new airplanes, and become familiar with our new toys (new TX, RX, FPV, etc.) before we venture out to the field again.
I do look forward to seeing everyone at the field again, once it is open.
Take care, KC
