We met Sunday March 28th 2019 at the Good Shepard Lutheran church (North of the store 2 mi) for the Judgment portion of the Wing-It contest.  The flying part of the contest will be held this summer and the dates will be posted shortly.  We had 15 contestants with a strong Spectator turnout.  I was happy to see the beautiful models with all the effort put forth by the builders.  Top 10 this year overall were:

Great job to everyone that attended.  I am looking forward now to the flying part.

Yesterday we had a covering seminar here at the store. Curt covered a wing from his Fokker D VI project. I had not heard of the D VI before. Nice crowd and Curt did a great job. Thank you to all that attended all our seminars this year!

Mark from Retro delivered a batch of the 2019 Science Olympiad airplanes. All 2 packs. Cloud dancer (More advanced) Scholastic CLG glider. Nice stuff!

Cloud dancer is more advanced, little harder to build but more duration than previous years.

Retro RC makes some quality stuff!

Today Steve Kretschmer gave his control line talk. He discussed the basic equipment and techniques for flying a UC model using a nice Power Point presentation.. Had a good crowd with some great questions. Thanks Steve!

Mark from Retro RC stopped by and showed us some of his new free flight models including the science Olympiad rubber models. Nice day at Flightline Hobby.
