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.

There’s been a lot of history with MAS so help other members learn more about their favorite flying site! Happy flying!

Here’s a picture of my Great Planes Big Stik right before its first flight with a Magnum .52 engine and Airtronics radio.  I received the plane from my good friends at the Valley View Flyers a few years back and it’s been on the “Finish Building” list way too long.  Before dusk I was able to get in about 6 take-off and landings.  It’s a fast, stable flyer and lands like a dream with 25% Flaperons set.  The Magnum engine isn’t quite running at 100%, but it’s not running bad.  I need to check the spray bar, glo-plug, head temp, etc. and also make  sure  the 11×6 prop I’m using isn’t  causing problems.  I have a vibration issue which shook apart my on-off switch housing (wasn’t on real tight to begin with) and I suspect a unbalanced prop.  I’ll check it out tonight.  What a great day flying.  Tomorrow I hope to do more.

When the vertical stabilizer was found, we noticed it had a chunk of it missing from where the prop bit into it.  The stryker had a mid-air collision with – itself.  Too funny.

This plane has been heavily used all summer and it’s a great flyer.  I’m currently using cheap  Tenergy 25C 1800mah batteries and so far they work great!.

Here’s a few of my plane pictures. -Jordan
