Nick @ Nite Inquiry:
The "Nick @ Nite" crew would like to know how many would be interested in having several of the club 3D pilots hold a Nick @ Nite activity to teach other club members the “tricks of the trade” regarding 3D flying. This could include instruction on what 3D is all about, how to set up a plane for performing 3D maneuvers, instruction/demonstration of how to perform some of the unique 3D maneuvers, and “over the shoulder” one on one flight instruction.
If you are interested, or have questions please let
Tim
or
Nick know.

Attention All:
Hi everyone, On this, the 249th celebration of the Fourth of July, I encourage you to go to your search browser to read the Fate of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence. These were not wild-eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: “For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other or lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor”.They gave you and me a free and independent America. The history books never told you a lot about what happened in the Revolutionary War. We didn’t just fight just the British. We were British subjects at the time and we fought our own government!
Some of us take these liberties so much for granted, but we shouldn’t. So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July Holiday and silently thank these patriots. It’s not much to ask for the price they paid. Remember: Freedom is never free!
It’s time we get the word out that patriotism is NOT a sin, and the Fourth of July has more to it than beer, picnics and baseball game.
Happy Fourth of July to all of you and your families.
God Bless. KC

Hi everyone, Just to clear up any confusion or questions that may cause, the recent article in this month’s AMA magazine regarding new altitude changes refers to air fields that are in the Class G airspaces only. We are classified, I believe, a Class C airspace, but definitely not class ”G”.Our altitude restrictions are still 400’.
This due to our close proximity to Bremerton National. I hope this helps. KCFor previous messages, see the President's Messages Page

Learn to Fly - Free!
The Introductory Pilot Program is free to the trainee. It gives the beginning pilot an opportunity to learn how to fly using a club-supplied airplane and transmitter.
The instructor's transmitter has full control of the aircraft but at any time, with the flip of a switch, allows the trainee to pilot the airplane with a second transmitter.
It's a great way to learn about model airplanes while getting hands-on flying experience.
For more information, contact the Head Flight Instructor.
