Messages from the Prez
We are running at full fun speed now boys and girls. The flying field has been hopping and many new faces have shown up to partake in our great hobby. If you can spare some time on the Tuesday and Thursday Flight Assistance Nights I am sure Ivan and the other instructors would appreciate the help. We have been having a great time in our new meeting venue at the VFW hall. The space is fantastic, even so much that many of you seem so far away. At our next meeting on May 25, 2010 we will be trying a new seating arrangement so we can bring you guys and the planes up front. I for one like to hear about your new plane or project and also this way no one has to spin around to see the presenters.

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.
