Stetson Flyers

Our fall cleanup will take place on Monday October 7, 9 am-noon.  We need some helpers with the following items please:

• Secure anchors of large shelter 
• Remove T post by 1st flight bench on east side, level flight benches. 
• Remove damaged lock latches from trailer.  
• Minor tree trimming along laneway. 
• Remove summer shelter and install winter shelter
• Add gravel to low spots
• Clean BBQ’s

We will need one or two wheelbarrows and some shovels and rakes. Please bring rubber boots and work gloves.  The fall clean-up is fairly light work, so please come out and help, and get some flying in as soon as soon as it is finished!

Please respond to contact@stetsonflyers.com.
Thanks, Michael Lalonde

Come join us this weekend, October 5th and 6th for the Annual World Wide Ringmaster Fly-A-Thon.  

This is a control-line plane flying event and is held in the Helicopter/Control Line area in the south-west area of the Stetson Flyers field. RC flying off the main runway won’t be affected. If there are no RC flyers using the main runway, the control-line organizers may set up a second circle on the main runway, but it will be removed at a moment's notice when RC flyers arrive

• Start times: 
  • Electric Ringmasters start at Dawn. 
  • Glow Ringmasters start at 0900h. 
• Basic Ringmaster trainers and instruction are available to try. No control line experience is needed!  Anyone wanting to give control-line flying a try, is welcome. Just approach Brian Pepin or Peter Wakefield and let them know. 
• Lots of fun for all ages! 

Also, come see the two Ringmasters dueling it out in the circle. Charlie and Mark, are you up for a re-match? We haven't seen this type of action since 2021! We have the pit crews ready to assist.

Our first fall meeting is Wednesday 25 September. The minutes of the March meeting will be circulated shortly for your review. They will be presented for approval at the meeting.
