2026 February Club Meeting
Regular club meeting with a 'Show & Tell & Sell' theme. See below for time, date and location.
SHOW & TELL: Bring your airplanes and heli’s, both new and experienced, and let folks see what you have building. There are lots of stories! We have seen some cool mods done to Aero Scouts and similar simple birds which deserve being shown, as well as some great control line aircraft, scale and aerobatic planes, some with the 700-foot package installed which needs explaining. Bring them out and tell us! Share your experiences and what you have discovered.
Come a little early (6:30-6:45pm) to set your stuff up and be a part of club meetings with MORE! Meeting starts at 7:00pm.
SELL: Bring your FOR-SALE stuff out as well and let folks browse. It’s a great chance to get your available equipment seen by the club members, and a unique buying opportunity. Come a little early (6:30-6:45pm) to set your stuff up and be a part of club meetings with MORE! Meeting starts at 7:00pm.
Support your club and come have some fun at meetings!
2026 First Fly of the Year Event Report:
Event Date
First Flight (Frigid Flight) Report: Thirteen intrepid souls rang in the New Year by braving the cold for Stetson’s First Flight of the year, undeterred by temperatures of –17°C as they competed for first-flight honours.
Dave Rees (with elbows up) claimed first place, followed closely by Nigel Chippindale in second. Both pilots received trophies and $25 GH gift certificates in recognition of their skill and determination.
Despite frozen fingers and reluctant batteries, participants managed multiple flights throughout the morning. The winter shelter, propane heater, donut holes, and hot coffee helped keep spirits high and fueled lively discussions on all things RC. Thanks to Andy for the gift certificates, helping out, and keeping everyone behaving.
