Valley Gathering Indoor Fly - 22 March 2014

Unread post by CF Av8or » Tue Mar 04, 2014 11:41 pm

Hey Guys,

A heads-up for the largest and best indoor flying meet in Nova Scotia happening at the big indoor soccer arena in Kentville on Saturday 22 March. If you haven't been to this annual event in the past, and have any interest in indoor RC, then you should definitely make the trip.

Here is the link to the MAAC event page for the Valley Gathering:

I'll actually be one of the presenters for the noon-time info sessions. This will be a presentation on building an easy yet semi-scale, foamy, indoor flyer. In the 1 to 1-1/2 hour session I hope to demonstrate the construction of a WW1 foamy (Junkers D1) from start to finish and then do a flying demo with it in the afternoon. Call me crazy... but, hopefully , it will be fun and informative.
