New Features...


Happy VE day... Victory in Europe Day was May 7 and May 8, 1945, the dates when the World War II Allies formally accepted the unconditional surrender of the armed forces of Nazi Germany and the end of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich.

Never forget...


The April meeting... was well attended perhaps due to the good weather lately and the need to get out of the house.
It was great to see and hear a large number of new members stand up and introduce themselves, the numbers are always a good thing for the club.

The field was discussed and although it is still very wet and marginal for use, hopefully the weather will hold and dry things out... fingers crossed for the next couple of weeks.

Bring 'n' Brag... featured Jim Brown's new Reaction 54 an as yet unflown Wren54 Riii turbine powered kit he brought and built from Bruce Tharpe Engineering.

Jim says the all wood kit is extremely well made and builds the same. The approximately 20lb model should fly very well with the 14lbs of thrust from the Wren.

There is around 100 hours of work in this to date and features Ultracote covering, all digital servos and Robart retracts & brakes.

The Reaction54 will be maidened in the next week or so... looking forward to seeing her fly and congrats Jim!...

   

Gerry Nadon... treated those at the meeting to a personal tour of the new hangar at the Canada Aviation Museum.

This is a wonderful look behind the scenes at all the aircraft that are being worked on, the new additions to the collection and those ready for the main floor display. This is certainly a not to be missed occurance...

Thanks a lot Gerry!...

             


Vintage Wings... have released their summer schedule for airshows and open days. This is a must-see for warbird and aviation enthusiasts alike!



UPDATE 28 April 2008... The Stetson field is now officially open as of yesterday, Sunday 27 April 2008.
Members are asked to take good care of the field and access road due to the frequent rain. Less damage now means less work (and cost) required for a great summer of flying.

Stetson Executive.
