The meeting was brought to order at 2:00 PM

Financial Report:

 

The club remains financially stable and has the funds available to support control line modeling for another year. The meeting minutes from our meeting in November 2025 were read and approved by those in attendance.

President’s Report:  

1. If you fly at Waymer Field, purchase a park pass and join PAMPA!

2. The Brodak Fly-In is on for 2026.  It will be shortened one day and will end on Friday.  
3. Fire ants are encroaching on our flying circles, so until we treat for them, use caution when flying.
