SPARTANBURG SKY KNIGHTS JULY 06 NEWSLETTER

SPARTANBURG SKY KNIGHTS

Newsletter June 28, 2006

We had a so-so turnout for our electric event. Maybe 35 to 40. There was two other fly-ins close by with an electric event near Charlotte. We did have five guys from WCRC. Hopefully our October event will draw a large crowd like last year.

Grass cutting party number four will be held next week. The field mower works fine and we would appreciate if some of the non regular cutters would jump on the mower and cut. Bring some gas, jump on and go.

REMINDER - The new ( shiny ) chairs at the field will last longer if we place them under the pavilion after a day of flying so please do not leave them out in the sun.

JC has obtained a couple of new electrics and they fly great. The little banchee and brio are excellent flying electrics. They both are ARF’s and they have airfoils. (unlike most foamies ) Who said ole geezers can not fly small electrics?

David Phillips is burning the sky up with a foamie when he can keep it glued together.

It was good to see Thomas Richard at the field Sunday. He hopes to get an electric in the air soon. Howard Spry said he has gotten 8 flights on his glider without having to charge the battery. WHOW

El presidente, David Stewart ask that we put out for thought whether we should hold the remaining summer meetings on Saturday mornings instead of Sunday afternoons or meet bimonthly during the summer? We had poor attendance at the May and June meetings.

JULY MEETING - Sunday July 2^nd., 2:30 p.m. at the field.
