My apologies if this topic is covered elsewhere in this notes file, but
I didn't know what keyword to use...
I am on the Pack Committee of a Cub Scout Pack in Andover, MA., and
recently volunteered to find some entertainment for an outdoor
outing/picnic which we hold every May. If past years are a good
indicator, we should have about 200-250 Scouts and their families in
attendance.
One entertainment idea which came up was to have some kind of demo of
RC aircraft, perhaps including some explanation of how they work and
what it takes to build them.
Does anyone reading this conference have any ideas of someone who could
put such a show on for the Pack?? We are a non=-profit organization,
so don't have a lot of money to spread around, but some kind of payment
is not out of the question.
Thanks for your advice....

If there isn't someone in the notesfile in your area, a trip to one of the local hobby stores will put you in touch with a local club. They can probably fill the bill and have one of their instructors do a demo/explanation. What might be a problem is the site of your outing and the suitability of it for the flight demo. R/C cars might be another alternative. | |||||

Dennis, you may want to consider using the American Modelers
Association Delta Dart airplane. This plane has a rubber band motor
and kids can make them in about one hour by putting airplane glue on a
paper diagram and then placing balsa sitcks on the glue.
These models can be purchased (their inexpensive) from Sig
Manufacgturing Co, Inc, Montezuma, IA 50171, (515) 623-3922.
The kids have a lot of fun flying them and usually a small contest is
conducted and a prize given for the Delta Dart which flies the longest.
Regards,
