This Saturday, July 14th, the Wine Country Flyers will honor late club member Larry Frank with a Scale Fly-In. Larry was a prolific scale builder and as Phil Leech wrote in our February Newsletter, Larry "wasn't a founder, but better than a founder because it was through his efforts that we all enjoy a dedicated flying field today".

The idea behind the event was to have a simple, fun scale contest that will involve static judging, but the main focus would be on scale flying. The rules are simple:

  • Any scale airplane, ARFs are OK.
  • Up to 3 aircraft entries per pilot
  • Static score 20%
  • Two Flights consisting of scale maneuvers 80% of score.
Top four scores will receive awards provided by Wayne Fredericks.
