Our 2010 meeting schedule will be posted here as soon as we've determined the dates. In addition to scheduled meetings, we have impromptu flying sessions fairly often. Anyone who wants to fly with us should get on our email list. Send us an email here to be notified of club events.
Anyway, here are some photos from Sunday...
Brian showed us his newest model, a No-Cal MiG-3 built from Lidberg plans. Brian created the graphics himself.
MAC usually organizes one or two group building projects each year. How about a No-Cal Cookup for 2010?
FAC No-Cal Profile Scale emphasizes duration. No maximum flight time in this category. This could get interesting.
Speaking of cookups, here is my Little Richard, built in 2007 and repaired after crashing hard into the rafters two months ago. Good as new, just a little heavier.
Ed has a number of models that belonged to Earl Hoffman, our senior member who passed away early this year at age 96. This canard was not quite airworthy when Ed got it, but he restored it to good flying condition.
Ed also restored this EZ-B from Earl's collection. This model belongs to the lightest class of EZ-Bs, 0.5 grams.
Ed explained how Earl built the propeller, covering a balsa frame (outline and ribs) with very thin balsa shavings, just 0.002 inches thick, effectively using balsa in lieu of microfilm.
Dave K brought a couple of Bill Hurley's pistachio biplanes. The incomplete models were framed but not covered or assembled when Dave got them from the retired modeler a year ago. Dave finished the delicate models and is now flight trimming. At this point the planes fly erratically, but they fly.
Dave K's peanut Fokker Dr.I turns in tight circles above the hardwood floor. Curse you, Red Baron!
