October 6, 2011 Glen Widman and Doug Bradford spoke to the Physics classes at Clear Lake High School in Lakeport about the physics of flight and model aircraft. On Saturday, October 8, the students were the guests of the Club at Chesley Meadows. Several club members were there to demonstrate RC flight. Paul Biehler made sure that anyone interested had a little time on the buddy box. Everyone seemed to enjoy the day. Ken Hook, the physics teacher, sent some photographs of the event. Thank you, Mr. Ken Hook. Click to see the photos at: CLHS Oct 8, 2011 or the Photographs link above.
Clearlake Modelers will have a display area set up at the 32nd annual Clear Lake Splash-In in Lakeport, California on September 24, 2011 from 8:00 a.m. til 3:00 p.m. Come by and say hello!

Dan Jones visited our field July 3, 2011. He grew up in Lake County before moving to the Sacramento valley. He was a SAM 74 member as a teenager where he learned to fly. Check out his company's website at Dionysus Design. Photo by Dee Tatum July 3, 2011.
Jack Tatum is using an FPV system that Dan Jones has installed on one of his airplanes. This allows Jack to fly the plane from inside the cockpit. Looks like he's having lots of fun. Dan can re-take control of the plane at any time that Jack gets into trouble. Photo by Dee Tatum July 3, 2011.

Doug Bradford's Nitro Planes P-40 had a sad ending after it crashed into one of the pit tables at the field this morning. I wonder if Doug plans to repair it? Glen Widman sent this photo from his cell phone to Jack Tatum Thursday, October 20, 2011.
