The June 4th 2011 Fun Fly-In was a great fly-in. We had 41 registered pilots. Mark Lofgreen from Creedmoor won the Pilots Choice Award for his 40% Cub. Steve Harris from Douglas, Georgia won the grand prize drawing for the Micro Corsair. Special Thanks goes to Robert Vess of Vess Aero, Don Gardner from 2-Dog RC and several members for donating door prizes for the drawings. A special thanks goes to Paul and Jean Lincoln for running the concessions stand all day. It was hot, but everyone had a good time. Thanks to everyone for making this a success.

We would like to welcome 4 new members to the club that joined in 2011, Tim Schurr, Timothy Harrington, Tommy Dean and Jeremy Barnard.
We have scheduled our annual club meeting for May 6th 2012 at 2pm at ECRC.
At this time we need to discuss our upcoming fly ins in June, July and October. Input is welcome on things you as members feel may help and are important to the club.
This meeting is also the time to nominate and elect the club officers, if you wish to be considered for a club position, please let me know.
Input is also requested on the design and use of our web site, any suggestions are welcome.
Our upcoming flyins are listed on the events page on this site.
The Boy Scouts have asked if the club would do a display and presentation at Camp Tuscarora 0n 10-12th and 17-19th March 2012.
Tom Shaw is coordinating this with them, please contact him if you can help. This is a good way to get young people interested in our hobby and is good exposure for the club!
Finally our hobby seems to be at a turning point and may even be in trouble due to upcoming new regulations to be imposed on us by the FAA. Please read your Feb issue of the AMA magazine, pages 12-13.
There is also information on the proposed changes on the AMA website.
Please stay informed and be prepared to have your voice heard. There is a form on the AMA site to automatically send letters to our Gov representatives.
IF YOU SAY NOTHING THEY WILL THINK YOU AGREE.
Stay Safe and bring something to fly !!!!!!!!!
Thanks
John Barber,
Treasurer/Sec. ECRC
