Metrolina Control Line Society Meeting Minutes from 22 August 2026

 

Metrolina Control Line Society (MCLS) held their regular monthly meeting at the Waymer Flying Field in Huntersville, NC.  The lower circle got some needed maintenance by weed eating, blowing clear and spraying for weeds, as well as cleaning up the upper circle once again to ready the field for the September 19th contest.  The weather was nearly perfect with overcast skies, light winds and mild a temperature for a Carolina August, so many flights were put in after a pizza lunch provided by Will Davis.

 

The following were in attendance:  Will Davis, Don Jenkins, Max Flowe, Tommy Luper, Kermit Payne and Steven Soble.  

 

The meeting was brought to order at 2:05 PM

Financial Report:

MCLS  had a good day flying in Huntersville for the August 22  Club Meeting ,. The day  was busy with contest prep  of the  flying   Circles   The grass and clippings  were  removed from both circles , Thanks go out to Tommy Luper , Kermit Payne , Max Flowe and Don Jenkins  for their help on  our field  work Day  

September 19 contest will have upper paved circle  for N-30 and the lower paved circle will be Profile Stunt 

The weather was in the  80s with mild winds all day. The Flying aces club   Annual  Jet fly in  was well attended due to the great weather .

As a member of the WACAMA board , It is rewarding to see all of the modelers out utilizing David B Waymer  field  . Back in 1989 we started flying  on a grass strip and grass circle at what was then called Holbrook Aero modelers park .

Today we get  to see the fruit of our partnership between Wacama and Mecklenburg Parks Dept  for over four decades .

Labor Day weekend brings us to another great contest in Smithfield NC , Tom Weedman and Andy Patterson put on a great two day contest  , Saturday  has a full plate of events including N-30 , Warbird  , profile and several other events  see the flyer for more info  

Sunday has all Pampa classes 

The locals club allows camping on site and they have a great concession stand for all meals cooked to order  , it’s worth the trip for the meals 

The Golden Oldies contest at Smithfield  has become one of the best attended events in our area   See you there
