Mark your Calendar for June 10th! Marymoor R/C Airfield will be having our annual open house from 9am to 4pm. Come watch giant scale airplanes piloted by some of the Northwest best pilots. Airshow and demonstration flights will kick off at noon. The field will be open to non members with current AMA so feel free to bring your favorite plane out for a flight.
Marymoor R/C club will be hosting a Warbird Fly-in featuring WW2 aircraft and EDF jets on Saturday May 20th. The club has invited several Veterans from the local retirement community to attend. We encourage the youth to participate by bringing out their EDF jets and warbirds. There will be several tandem flights throughout the day showcasing the various airplanes and their flight characteristics. There will also be a table set up for static model display so feel free to bring out your airplanes to display. Families are encouraged to attend and lunch will be provided.
We will go ahead with this meeting for all instructors and helpers even though the weather forecast is a little wet.
Saturday, April 22 (TOMORROW!). 9:00 am at the Field.
We'll meet under the charging shelter to go over "Notes for Instructors" and trade ideas for teaching technique. This is to get the best ideas from everyone, and use them. I will have paper handouts available.
After about 3:30 today (Friday), you should be able to look at "Notes for Instructors" under the Training and Education pull-down menu on our website.
Don’t forget to come to this Thursday’s club meeting - 6pm at the Redmond community center. We will be raffling off a Me-262 EDF warbird along with a 30cc sized wing bag. See you there!
The history of military reconnaissance drones - How a ragtag group of RC enthusiasts created an innovation that would change the battlefield forever.
The date for the all-instructor's meeting and new instructor clinic has changed from this Saturday April 8 to:
Saturday April 22, 9:00-12:00, at the field.
May is fast approaching and we are getting ready to gear up for our Summer Flight Training! The club is looking for volunteers so if you're a skilled pilot and are available Tuesday evenings, consider signing up to teach others the love of R/C flying! Ideally, the club needs 7-10 instructors. This will allow instructors to spread out the time commitment to everyone involved. We typically have 5 instructors each Tuesday but it would be nice to have an additional instructor to give breaks throughout the evening.
The "Festival of Color" event will happen at Marymoor tomorrow, 12:00-5:00. Very heavy attendance and traffic is expected, so our parking lot might be impacted at that time.
Our swap meet begins officially at 9:00 am. As with all swap meets, if you want to make or find the best deals it pays to be early. There is nothing preventing folks from showing up earlier, and I'll bet many will.
So, there you have it. Two reasons to be early.
See you tomorrow,

Here is the text of the note from the Park:
Hi Everyone,
Please Renew:
If you have not already done so, please renew your membership so that you are all set to start flying when the mood strikes. We usually get some good weather in April as soon as the March storms are done, so this is a good time to do it. Also, you'll get a free MAR/C sticker with our logo.
Swap Meet:
The Marymoor R/C club will be having a Swap Meet and Fun Fly on Saturday March 18th. The swap meet is open to the general public from 9-2 and all are welcome to bring airplanes/helis and R/C related items to sell. Swap meet will be located in the grassy area between the parking lot and the flying field. The field will be open to anyone for flying with a current AMA membership. Lets hope for great weather!
Chris
