LINOMA scheduled for Sept 29 was canceled due to weather. Loren proposed turning the SWIFT Closer in to the last LINOMA of 2007. Watch the BBS and email for further information.

 

The team SWIFT attended the EISS soaring event at Blakesburg September 15 and 16. The attendance was excellent and we all witnessed and did some great flying. Tks to the EISS guys for putting on an excellent event.

                                                                                        

Bring something to fly in the parking lot after the meeting. Its getting dark earlier, but if the wind is low we can get in some under the lights flying after the meeting.

      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.
