Saturday May12th... We all have had tons of fun in this hobby and we learned many things from others.  Now it's time to give something back.  All flyers (club members or not) are asked to bring and showcase their various heli's and aircraft and participate in this special scouting event.  Even if it is too windy to fly, please come on out anyway and just gather up a group of scouts and give a talk and demo about the equipment used, how it works, how things fly, radios, servos, etc.  You'll think of something and all will have a fun time too!
