This newsletter is showing up a bit late and a bit sparse, but it's been a pretty quiet month, with little to report. The month began with the cloud-out and cancellation of March 7th's general meeting. The expected major topics of discussion would have been early preparations for the SAM annual May Fly, and the static display for the Pima County Fair (April 8-18). If you have anything RC suitable for demoing for the static display, consider helping out! Old planes, new planes, RC parts, unfinished skeletons of planes - they're all excellent displays for what RC flight is all about. You can expect this topic to be at the forefront of April's meeting on the 4th. See you there!
Typos happen. Last month, in the paper version of the Newsletter, it was reported that ``Bear'' Brock's RC combat event would be held on May 9th, when in fact the date was March 7th. This was corrected in the online version when it was brought to my attention. Apologies to Bear for the screwup. Maybe we can still have it on May 9th? What do you think? (grin)
Hey! Please take the time to welcome our newest member - Mike Sundgaard! Mike is a great builder. He recently finished his FIRST model, a Sig Kadet 40, and brought it out to the field at the end of February. Mike's airplane flew magnificently well on its maiden flight, with hardly any trim to adjust. Mike is also a natural. He has already soloed on take-offs. He wants to teach his grandson how to fly RC. Welcome, Mike!
