Opening up Flight School

Published by Stetson.Flyers –

The Stetson Flight School is seeking to broaden its reach to serve the whole club, not just the traditional clientele of R/C beginners and former flyers. Our instructional team includes people with a wide range of skills and expertise, from basic flying skills, to aerobatics, to tuning IC engines, to building and repairing models, to programming various radio systems, etc. We want to share this resource with club members who are looking for help.

Flight School is open for business every Tuesday (when weather permits) from 16:30 to well into the evening. So feel free to just drop in to look for advice and assistance or just chat. Bring your plane and gear, as appropriate. Don’t forget to check the club website on Tuesday morning to make sure Flight School is on that day (www.stetsonflyers.com).

Or get in touch with me in advance to discuss your issue and arrange for help. Call, text or email.

That’s the make-it-up as-we-go-along approach. In addition we intend to hold scheduled sessions on specific topics. One of these will demonstrate Forward Programming of a Spektrum Smart receiver. If you’re interested, please let me know. I’m thinking of doing it at the field, under the shelter, on a Tuesday evening in late July. More to come.

So join our effort to share the expertise!

2026 Ed Rae Memorial Fun Fly

Published by Stetson.Flyers –

UPDATE: Moved to Sunday June 7th

We've been tracking the weather forecast for Saturday and it doesn't look good - rain in the morning and the possibility of thunderstorms in the afternoon. It's a bit of a judgement call, but we've decided to postpone the Ed Rae Memorial Fun Fly to the following day: Sunday June 7th. 

Campers, please feel free to camp for the weekend regardless of the weather. Camping at the Field: I'll add that a number of you have asked permission to camp this weekend with trailers and RVs. As a member of the Stetson Flyers club you can camp anytime you wish and make use of the field amenities - BBQ, etc. You DO NOT need permission from the club Executive. We also encourage you to invite your friends who are MAAC members from other clubs in the region and beyond to camp and fly with you at the field regardless of whether there's an event happening or just regular flying. 

Hope to see you on Sunday!!
