We can use more instructors; call Tom Vernon if you are interested to help out. IF YOU ARE A STUDENT HOOK UP WITH ONE OF THESE MEN AND GET TRAINED. ANY CLUB PILOT CAN TRAIN YOU, BUT AN INSTRUCTOR MUST SIGN YOU OFF TO FLY SOLO. Sept Remember, we will need support and help for the Aero-Tow event so make your intentions known, come and fly your glider self powered or not. It is a high undertaking to put on an event like this. Len & Steve travel all over the country supporting other clubs events establishing contacts and friendships. This way, out of area and out of state fliers will reciprocate. Let s help to make this the best North East Glider event possible. The same is needed for the Oct 3 rd Pylon Racing. These events require at least 16 members to provide judging, timing and crowd control to make this event successful and fun for all whether they be a participant, a spectator or an official. October 9 th. This will be the second year we have been asked to participate in the Groton Fall Fair. We will have static displays and flying displays of Helicopters and Fixed wing electric aircraft. Currently Bob Wales, Dennis Duplice and Fred Meyer will be flying models at this event and many Borderline flier members will bring static displays & a couple will fly. The flying area is a football field with trees on three sides and the fair on the other so flying requires some skill. If you are interested in flying at this event let Dennis or me know. This is an AMA sanctioned event (Demo) with insurance for the town included, so we are doing this formally & correctly. The location is Groton Plains Park on Rt 1 East of the intersection of Rt 117 & Rt 1. The Rhode Island Aeromodelers are holding their fall fun fly at their field off I-95, exit 6 on September 25th. I have attached a brochure for this event. If you are interested please download the brochure. There will be prizes raffles and lots of flying. 6
