Presidents Pen.

MCLS  had a good day flying in Huntersville for the July Club Meeting ,. The meeting was well attended  , Special Guest was Charra Reeves , Charra was in town visiting some friends and came by to meet up with Tommy Luper , Charra had the Super Luper with her that Charlie and Tommy worked on together for OTS ,

We did the field maintenance and  field prep  getting ready for the September 19 contest.The upper paved circle will be used for N-30 and the lower paved circle will be Profile 

The weather was in the  80s with mild winds all day. The RC  club  was also well attended due to the great weather . It is great to see all of the modelers out utilizing David B Waymer  field  , 

The lower circle  still needs  more maintenance and we will  do it at the next club meeting ,

If you have a string trimmer, please bring it to the August 22 club meeting if we get four or five people working on the the edging and some  of the grass that’s in the cracks we can have both circles ready for the contest in no time.

We had discussions during the club meeting about the upcoming March 5,6 and 7 2027 F2D  event  by James Mckenney 

The club was very open to helping out anyway we can this contest will close the field to only Controlline flying on that weekend,
