Stetson Flyers Fall Cleanup
Its hard to believe that we are approaching the end of another summer of fabulous flying. The Fall clean up signals the change in weather and on Monday October 7, a small but mighty crew came to help. The objective was to clean up after the summer, prepare the facility for the winter and to support the (brave) winter flyers!
This is the work that was accomplished:
Come join us this weekend, October 5th and 6th for the Annual World Wide Ringmaster Fly-A-Thon.
This is a control-line plane flying event and is held in the Helicopter/Control Line area in the south-west area of the Stetson Flyers field. RC flying off the main runway won’t be affected. If there are no RC flyers using the main runway, the control-line organizers may set up a second circle on the main runway, but it will be removed at a moment's notice when RC flyers arrive
Also, come see the two Ringmasters dueling it out in the circle. Charlie and Mark, are you up for a re-match? We haven't seen this type of action since 2021! We have the pit crews ready to assist.
Our first fall meeting is Wednesday 25 September. The minutes of the March meeting will be circulated shortly for your review. They will be presented for approval at the meeting.
Time and location: Wednesday 25 September, 7:00 pm at the Pat Clark Community Center, 4355 Halmont Dr, Gloucester. https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Pat+Clark+Community+Center/@45.4301483,-75.6218308,2013m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x4cce0f945ac53675:0x5b027986dbac43d6!8m2!3d45.4288243!4d-75.6194701!16s%2Fg%2F1pp2wym54?entry=ttu.
The main items on the agenda will be:
There will be coffee and snacks. We have the room from 6:30 pm for setting up. There will also be time to socialize after the meeting, but please note that there will be a meeting of the executive beginning at 8:30 pm.
We hope to see many of you there.

On Saturday August 24th, Stetson RC Flyers held our Scale event. Traditionally, this event was strictly for giant scale aircraft but this year we opened it up to scale aircraft any size. It had a bit of a confusing name but it seems to have worked, this year.
We really couldn’t have asked for a better day weatherwise. Winds were light, the sky was mostly clear and it wasn’t too hot. As CD of the event, I had all my volunteers lined up, On flight line we had Kevin, Greg, Tony, Charlie, Mark and Alain. Hal did an amazing job as usual of photos and this year we had a little something special. All cooked up in my devious little mind.
The club had a very nice Top Flite Cessna 182 donated to it. This plane was completely built, with LED lights, fibreglass cowl, an Evolution 15 gas engine and all the scale bits and bobs to make this plane a real looker. My idea was, that for every full flight put in, the pilot would get a raffle ticket for said airplane. Therefore, the more flights the pilot flew, the more chances they had to win the 182. Thanks to Robert for taking the task of ticket dispenser.
