WARNING!


!!! SCAM Warning !!!

An email is floating around from what appears to be KC. This email is asking for Apple Gift cards for the meeting tomorrow night. This is what we refer to as "social engineering"; someone has spent a little time looking into who/what we are and pretending to be KC.

PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THIS TYPE OF SCAM!

The telltale signs are: a) someone asking for money via gift cards, b) the email it was sent from is not in agreement with the email I know KC uses, c) it came to me via the "webmaster" email alias. All of these are flags. When you receive suspicious emails or texts like this, it's best to reach out independently (don't use any links in the email) to verify that the person is in fact making the request.
Replying to the scam email will provide the scammer with your email adress also.

This is the time of year when these types of scams seem to be prevalent so please keep your eyes open and don't respond if you get any messages like this. Just delete them. Happy Holidays!

Attention All:

The Gate Combo will be changed on Saturday Feb. 15th for the 2025 year. The new gate combo will be be dispersed to 2025 paid members prior to the change. I suggest you write down the new combo when you receive it so that you will not lose it and have it with you when you go to the field. I write it on the back of my AMA/Club Card as that is needed if flying to post on the KIOSK at the field. Only those who:
1. Are current AMA members
2. Have paid their club dues and
3. Have turned in a completed signed membership form for 2025 will be receiving this new combo.
To ensure you do not get locked out and miss flying time please complete your 2025 renewal as soon as possible and get the signed form info to the address on the form. Please do not share with others as they may not be paid up yet. P.S. If you joined after Sept. 30th of 2024 you are good for 2025 also.

TO ALL: As I get ready to change the calendar from 2024 (Where in the heck did it go?) to 2025 I start reflecting on what has happened this last year. Knock on wood, fortunately, there was no major issues or vandalism occurring at the field. The FPV group has made significant progress on completing their airplane systems. Some have been flying FPV a significant amount. This interest has spread to many other members, especially some of the younger flyers. Kesten designed and built his own goggle system that was working just great. Many of the younger flyers have also participated in the Warbird Fly-in and in several of the events. This does my old heart good. The EAA Young Eagle program has formed it’s second group of young builders. They are building ‘The Old School Model Works “Fifty Six”. The New Year will have a change. The old Park Zone T-28 will be upgraded to use the E-Flite 1.1m T-28. As Rick Fuller mentioned, it’s time to retire the old girl. I want to thank everyone for all of their support and participation for this past year. I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas with your families. I look forward to seeing everyone this coming year. I hope and pray you all have a safe, healthy, joy-filled and prosperous New Year.

Learn to Fly - Free!

Free RC Flying Lessons

     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.
