Member comments John Farkas and I are getting into the heli mode. Have spent some great time at Rotary Motions in Corvallis Or. with Chris McVey. He is a wonderful person to help with your RC endeavors. John and me have spent the day with Chris and have gained large amounts of info on our helis. We will be going back this next week as well. Nice to find someone that can help with the RC problems you have and explain in language you can understand. We really need that kind of person in Eugene. Thanks to Chris at Rotary Motions. - Bill Schneider I have never seen pattern flying. I wonder if it would be fun to invite a pattern flyer or two, and have a demo plus "clinic". Along the same lines, a demo of combat flying could be a great crowd pleaser as part of a summer fun fly/BBQ day. Hair brain ideas? Yes, but I toss them in anyway. - John Farkas Sponsors - When you purchase something from them let them know you are a CRCF member Rod's Landscape & Irrigation Platinum Level sponsorship Creswell Tire Factory Silver Level sponsorship Lane Forest Products Silver Level sponsorship Builders Electric Silver Level sponsorship Valley View RC Bronze Level sponsorship 2013 Meeting dates CRCF has reserved our meeting location at EWEB building for the THIRD Wednesday of each month.
