   The latest news I have from Arkansas is that Mr. Don Turlock of Eureka Aircraft Company (the folks making the 1/2-scale Fokker Tri-plane) may be bringing his booth to our event. Eureka Aircraft Company does router-cut R/C short kits. Router-cutting gives the precision of laser-cutting, without the wood charring or size limitations. He'll try to bring some router-cut Ziroli short kits for sale. 

  
 

      I publish Metro Area R/C Flying to make a central web site for all the area R/C clubs, not to replace individual club sites, but to tie all of them together and promote growth and interaction between clubs. The most important service of the web site is to post the Metro Area Schedule. The schedule lists all the events for all the clubs in one location so that R/C flyers can see what events are available in the area and plan ahead. I believe it will also help the area clubs to work out their schedules so that a club event, will not conflict, with another club's event. The next most important service is to provide a Page that has maps to all the events, meetings, dinners and parties. Right after that comes the Newsletter Page which lists club newsletters. Reading other club newsletters lets members see what others are offering in the area that they are interested in and promotes interaction between clubs.  This is your web site, if you would like to show-off your newest plane, or share an experience, you can E-Mail pictures and articles to me at: MetroRCFlying@Gmail.com  There’s an Email Link on every page.
