SVRC Flyers Mini Ground School – Introduction to Radio
Control Airplanes
May14, 2011
RESCHEDULED: May 20, 2011 - Due to poor weather on May 14, the flying has been rescheduled for Saturday May 20, 2011. Time will most likely be 9:00a to noon (or as long as students are interested in flying). This will be finalized and an update will be posted.
UPDATE: May 13, 2011, 9:15pm – The weather isn’t
looking very promising for flying tomorrow with cool temperature, rain and
gusty wind but we will still start at 9:00a with flying the simulators and have
a presentation about the radio control airplane hobby. We will probably be rescheduling the flying
for a later date.
Day starts at 8:00a at Holmes Field with breakfast. Flying instruction will start about 9:00a.
After a short discussion about the RC hobby and time on computer simulators,
students will fly electric and glow powered airplanes. The class will be over
at noon but if the flying is good, we might have lunch and then fly some more!
Two meals and some flying time. It doesn’t get much better than that.
There is no charge for the session but pre-registration is
required. In case of inclement weather,
we will reschedule so we need phone numbers and email addresses.
For more information call David Greifzu at 217-438-6460.
To register, email david@greifzu.com with name, address and telephone number.
