A quick message to those who signed up for the IMAC Training on 2May.  It is a go for tomorrow.  It looks like the weather will be adequate to at least try.  Let anyone who does not have internet know.

From Larry, the MAS President:

During the past several months, several people have expressed interested in doing some IMAC work. Well, we are going to offer an opportunity to our members to do just that. Mark Dennis has agreed to give some instruction on IMAC for those who are interested. I appointed David Kelley to organize and coordinate the training. He is also the clubs point of contact for this. He has picked up the ball and as it stands now, instruction is scheduled for Sunday May 2. It will run from 9am to 4pm.

Those that are interested should contact Dave Kelley at imac@miniatureaerosportsters.org or they can signup on the signup sheet that is located on the bulletin board, in the clubhouse. The deadline for signup is set for April 24. This is to allow enough time for Mark to insure there are enough people to run the training. This training will require the airfield being dedicated to the IMAC flyers for the period of 11:30am to 4:00pm on the May 2. The field will be open to everyone until 11:30am and after 4:00pm. This is a trial thing and if there is insufficient support for it, we will not do it again until there is or, it will need to be done during the week.

Drop-In From  10:00 AM To 4:00 PM

Location: Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum

Come to Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum February 27^th from 10AM to 4PM for the 6^th Annual Aeromodeling Expo. Come see radio controlled aircraft, helicopters, and even a blimp in action. Purchase your own R/C plane from one of the many vendors available. There will be demonstrations, question and answers sessions with R/C pilots, and food! Weather permitting, tours the Museum’s massive B-52 bomber will even be on the schedule. With fun for the whole family, this is an event that you will want to stay all day long for.

From Bob Bergin:

Well it is the new year and that means our 6th Model Expo is coming up. It will be held on Feb 27th from 10:00am to 4:00pm at the Wings Over The Rockies Museum again. The door will be open at 7:00 am for all the clubs and Hobby stores to start their set ups. Weather permitting, we hope to have the B-52 cockpit open for viewing as the drawing factor for the public. We also have been working with Buckley Air Base to have a Blackhawk helo there for display. We are still waiting to hear from them. All the paper work is in.

MAS will once again have a club display. Members are invited to bring their airplanes or helicopters. Set up time is from 8:00 am to 9:00am. They are requesting that all models stay in place until 4:00pm.

Quick reminder about the snow bird January 1st at the field.  The trophy event starts at 10:00 am.  There will be Green Chili, Hot Dogs, Sea food gumbo, and more.  Better bring your skis if you have them.

Thanks,
Gary

We have the latest and probably final $ amount for the Dare to Fly event. The event raised $5,862.00 for United Cerebral Palsy of Colorado! Not bad considering the state of the economy and the less than desirable weather conditions.

Congratulations and Thanks to all who made it happen!
