New pre-flight checklist document available.

Over the course of a flying season model aircraft can be damaged by crashes, transporting models to and from the flying field, vibration from engines, wear and tear, fuel leaks and effects of moisture and temperature changes. In addition, sometimes we may inadvertently adjust something on our transmitter leading to strange flight control movements. Checking your aircraft and radio system is important for safety and is a requirement.

2025 Winter Fun Fly Event Report

Winter Fun Fly 9 March 2025

Overcast skies and gusty winds welcomed 13 registered pilots to the annual Stetsons Winter Fun Fly on Sunday 9 March. The early arrivals quickly noticed that Mike Lalonde’s, Charlie Colwell’s’ and Andy Leu’s field preparation efforts earlier in the week had been largely undone by the wind, but several helpers quickly cleared the snow drifts around the shelter areas, setup tables, and restored foot paths to the pilot stations.

Thanks, guys! Our Events Director Chris Rebidoux launched the event with a pilot briefing at 10 am, and we were off to a good start with mostly electric planes on skis and floats taking to the skies.

Jon Harper and Pierre Coulombe soon got their cooking pots ready for hot chocolate and chili respectively. An early start paid off, because the cold wind was fighting hard against the BBQ burners, but eventually, we were able to partake of delicious hot chocolate (with marshmallows!) and hearty chili. Overall, though, the culinary hit was the loaves of home-made bread baked by Chris’s wife Jennifer. Thanks Jennifer!
