1999 Fun Fly Pictures

Our 1999 fun fly was a pretty good success.  We invited 3 of our surrounding clubs, and was elated that so many of our friends came.  Below are some pictures of the event as well as a description of the pics to the best of my memory...

Here's a picture of the pits at our 1999 fun fly.  Most of the models in the front of the picture are mine up to the Sukhoi.  In order from front to back... a Hobby Lobby RCM Funster, Goldberg Electra, Goldberg Extra 300, Goldberg Sukhoi (all owned by Vo Decker), a Great Planes EZ Sport and a Goldberg Extra 300(owned by Ross Lentz).  The high wing plane after the Extra is a Goldberg Eagle trainer owned by our Treasurer, Rick Barry.

Sitting down is Mike Vossler, who is responsible for teaching many of us how to fly RC, as well as me 18 years ago...  He is our resident club expert in slope soaring, and is part owner of a full scale glider @ Harris Hill.  Still one of the best around!
