May 21 at Woodsom Farm; 2023 ORA  Trip Planning

Finally!  The daffodils have bloomed and spring has sprung.  Clubsters are blowing the cobwebs off their outdoor models and looking to get outside and fly in the warm sunshine.  

Our first outdoor meet of the season is right around the corner – Sunday May 21 on the big rolling green fields of Woodsom Farm in Amesbury, MA.  Check out the Contest Flyer and plan to make this one as we expect to see many new models built over this past winter.

Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome Field Trip

A few clubsters made the trek to Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome (ORA) last July and had a great time.  They got to see many terrific WW1, Golden Age, and Pioneer aircraft flying off the legendary grass strip.  More of their great pics are posted on the Photos page of this site.  What an airshow!

We’re hoping to make another field trip to ORA this summer, perhaps with a few more clubsters this time.  We’ll be discussing the details at the close of the May 21 meet at Woodsom Farm.  Show up at the meet and let us know if you’d like to join in the fun.

See you on the flightline skysters!

Hey!  Who Let the (Bird) Dogs Out!

Yeah, this is one pack you want to be running with, so get those balsa chips flying.  Don’t miss out.   The gang will be flying these in the Penn Brook school gym in Georgetown, MA soon. 
And shhhhh – don’t tell the town Dog Catcher!  Hawww

That’s right.  The first Stealth Sqdn indoor meet is just after the New Year rings in – January 15, 2023 to be precise.

Check out the Flyer HERE and mark your calendar now. 

Send those pics of your Bird Dog – whether it’s all finished up or still under construction.  No matter.  These things are FUN and your pic will inspire your fellow clubsters to get theirs over the finish line.

See you on the flightline skyster!
