| Robert, welcome to the RC notesfile. Please LOG IN under Who's Who
so we have a record of participants.
In response to your question of flying fields.....I fly where I
find the room. Sounds like Bernie a good spot in Jericho. We'll
have to check it out....right Bernie? I also found a place in
Panton (just outside of Vergennes) but it is on a long stretch of
road (very little traffic). I was flying at the old Colchester
airport, but they just put two ball fields and a play ground in.
What we need to do is get together someday real soon and DO IT!
By the way Robert, have you ever flown RC before?

| Ken, the last time I flew was about ten years ago. I started with a
Lanier trainer and moved up to a PT 49 that I got pretty good at.
could do some simple things like barrel rolls, figure 8s, and loops,
but never quite mastered knife edges (lost 2 planes trying)! Gave up
after starting college, but am now ready to go again.

No problem Robert! Its just like riding a bike. I'm sure it'll
all come back to you.
As far as knife edges, I still haven't mastered them yet. How
bout' you Bernie....
Anyways, get your equipment ready to go, and maybe we can get
some flyin' in.

| Hi - I don't fly in Vermont any more, but while at Norwich, I was a member of
the Vermont Modeling Club in Barre. They had a very nice feild just up the
road from the Knapp airport in Barre. It was a real luxury to have so many
good flying areas! I get up there a couple of times a year to fly with some
friends in the area!
William Barlett used to fly at the Jerico site.

| 1005.5 | And yet another club... | BRNIN::SOUTIERE | | Thu May 18 1989 14:14 | 9 |
| Hi Brian,
Barre is about 40 minutes from Burlington, as is Vergennes,
Cambrige, and So. Hero which all have plenty of room to fly. I
don't recall hearing about that club. But then again I was just
told by Robert White that there is a club in Milton which is only
20 minutes away! I've only heard of the Green Mountain RCer's.
Thanks for the info.

| Sounds like we're all going to have to apply for our AMA membership.
Someone find out where that flying site is in Milton.
As for the Green Mtn. R/C'rs Club, I can tell you its made up of
mostly IBM'rs. The last time I flew with or visited with any of them
it appeared they have an attitude problem. (chip on the shoulder type
of thing.) Sooo, where do you work? (meaning where in the IBM plant)
Digital-----(WROOOONG ANSWER!!!) My $.02.
Barre, to far away. Unless its for a contest. So. Hero, I'm usually
out there every other week or so. My mother lives there.
I know you can't fly at Yandow's unless you belong to AMA.
I should have my Eagle converted and ready in another week or two.

| 1005.7 | Milton club and field info | BTOVT::WHITE_R | | Thu May 18 1989 20:27 | 8 |
| Hi guys,
the name of the club in Milton is the Arrowhead Aero Modelers of
Franklin County and their flying field is located on Murray Ave. in
Milton. Stop by my desk at pole P7 for info on the club and a map
showing where the field is located.

CHIPS in RC clubs......specially BALSA CHIPS.....hee hee.
