This Saturday the Museum of Flight hosts an exhibit of RC Aircraft. If you bring a plane to show, you get free admission to the museum for yourself and a guest. A good deal!
The show is from 10-5, but the doors open at 9:00 to allow us to bring planes in and set them up. The even is sponsored by the Lake Sawyer Hawks RC Club, but anyone with a plane they wish to exhibit can participate.
It's a great way to have a day at the Museum.
Happy November everyone!

BIG NEWS.
If you've been reading the articles in your Model Aviation magazine about the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements for Remote ID, you will be happy to hear that our application for a FRIA at Marymoor RC has been approved.
FRIA stands for Federally Recognized Identification Area.
The FAA treats all RC planes, helicopters, sailplanes, and drones etc. as Unmanned Aerial Systems, or UAS.
