Old Business:

1. The Brodak Fly-In was a great success with a nice turnout. However, you only have one more chance to attend this awesome venue! Next year is the 30th anniversary of the Fly-In and it will be the last!

New Business:

1. The control line community is saddened from the recent passing of Charlie Reeves. He was a true gentleman, a master craftsman and an expert flyer. He will always be remembered for his cheerful demeanor and willingness to help anyone and with whatever they needed.

2. Don Jenkins has built the Brodak SV-11 Prototype kit. He has also put together detailed building instructions that will be included in the kit. Additionally, he created an electric conversion kit with detailed instructions that will be available from Brodak. The kit should go into production soon!
