Messages from the Prez
Hopefully you are out of your food coma by now and had a blessed Thanksgiving. Putting my sweat pants on before I started eating worked so much better this year. With the
holiday hustle and bustle upon us all, take a moment this season to remember all those servicemen and women around the world that protect us and our freedoms. This is truly
the greatest nation on earth. “Peace on earth and good will towards all men”.

Larry's Tip's & Tricks
I’ve noticed that some club members have been flying the Park-Zone Stryker at our winter Fun-Flys. The Stryker is a delta-wing pusher “jet” style model. It’s advertised as an 80+ MPH speedster and from what I’ve seen that’s a true statement. While my Zagi is fun to fly, it does not blister the sky. As I’m always looking for something new I began to check into a Stryker. Visiting the Horizon Hobbies website I found that I could pick up the Plug-N-Play version for about $160 plus tax and shipping. The price seemed reasonable for a model where you only need to add a battery, receiver and charger, since the brushless motor, speed controller and servos are included. So for about a $100 more, the ready to fly version is literally “ready to fly” out of the box. Almost everything is included, just charge it and fly it.
