July, 2022, Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome, Rhinebeck, NY; A few Stealth Sqdn clubsters got together and trekked to the legendary Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome in downstate New York to take in the Airshow and view the many historical aircraft in the ORA hangars.  Here are some of their photos of the action on that beautiful day. We’re looking to repeat this field trip in midsummer 2023 with more clubsters.

November 6, Woodsom Farm, Amesbury, MA; What terrific flying weather we had for the late Fall Stealth Sqdn meet! Clear blue skies, mostly warm temps and light breezes made for a great season-closing outdoor contest. John and Kathi Rood joined us again to laugh with old friends, run a few events and take some great pictures which you can see HERE.

Our roving photo recon crew took some additional pics below.

September 19 White’s Farm, Durham, CT; The Fall meet on the same field where many of the early Flying Aces Club meets were held was a lot of fun. The wind was up in the morning (still flyable), but had dropped by mid afternoon which resulted in many nice flights.  Sometimes it pays to wait to get your official flight in for the events.  Clubster and FAC IT Czar Rick Pendzick was awarded his Blue Max by John Stott while Phineas looked on with approval. Next meets coming up are October 9 back at Woodsom Farm in Amesbury, followed by a couple of season-ending meets in November. Check the dates on the Calendar page of this website for the contest flyers with all the details and events.  See you on the flightline Skyster!

August 15 (Durham, CT) & August 21 (Amesbury, MA), We had two great back to back meets at Pinkham Field (CT) and Woodsom Farm (MA). The grass was still long at Durham which made model retrieval a bit more difficult, but the flying was tons of fun nonetheless. The Amesbury field had just been hayed and flying conditions were near perfect. Next meets coming up are September 11 at Woodsom Farm in Amesbury, followed by Sept. 19 at White’s Farm in Durham, CT. Check the dates on the Calendar page of this website for the contest flyers with all the details and events.  See you on the flightline Skyster!

July 24, 2021 Pony Express Field, Ipswich, MA.  We had our first “small field” meet at the Pony Express (ex Polo field). Wind speed was a bit higher and the flyer turnout a bit lighter than hoped for, but the grass was lush, the skies blue and the shade trees glorious. And we had lots of fun.  Next meets coming up are August 15, 2021 in Durham, CT followed by Aug 21, 2021 back on the big Woodsom Farm field in Amesbury, MA. Check the dates on the Calendar page of this website for the contest flyers with all the details and events.  Whew! No shortage of opportunities to fly.

November 8, 2020 Woodsom Farm, Amesbury, MA.  Despite the November date, we had perfect “light and variable winds” conditions for our fourth outdoor contest of the season at Woodsom Farm. The grass was still soft, the sun still shining warmly, but the foliage was well past-peak.  A full slate of Mass Launch events were flown and the less rigorous FAC Simplified Scale was substituted for the scale-judged Flying Aces Scale event. This freed up time for all to fly – and that folks did – putting up many high and long flights in the light air. The meet ended a few minutes earlier than usual due to Daylight Savings Time, but all seemed interested in flying more oudoors in coming months, even if on a smaller field. So stay tuned to this site for more opportunities to fly!  Photos courtesy of Tom N.

October 11, 2020 Woodsom Farm, Amesbury, MA.  The third outdoor contest of the season took place on a gorgeous fall day at Woodsom Farm. The foliage was at its peak, the grass soft and just the right height, and even Covid couldn’t keep flyers’ spirits (or models) down.  Special thanks go out to the many flyers who traveled some distance to fly and compete in the contest. Several new flyers were in attendance and we look forward to seeing them back on the flightline soon.  Photos courtesy of Tom N.

September 12, 2020 Woodsom Farm, Amesbury, MA.  The second outdoor contest of the season was held on the beautiful rolling green fields of Woodsom Farm.  With Covid 19 still a threat, masks and social distancing protocols were in practice throughout the meet.  This was no great setback to the strong turnout of flyers who came to fly their models and enjoy light breezes and strong thermals this fine autumn day.  Photos courtesy of Mark B., George S., Rich Z.  Thanks guys!

February 9, 2020 Penn Brook Middle School, Georgetown, MA.  The second indoor contest of the season at our Boston north shore indoor site was a barrel of fun. Several flyers traveled including Sam B from CT, Webb from NH and Ara from ME. Pipits were flitting all over the gym and the “12 minutes of Georgetown” pylon race was a hoot!

January 12, 2020 Glastonbury High School, Glastonbury,CT.  The first indoor contest of the season had a great turnout of flyers – CD John Koptonak reminded us that this is the largest indoor FAC gathering in the U.S. at this time. One Design Pipit’s were everywhere, with the high time around 90sec with further improvement to come. Photos courtesy of Tom N.
