Wow, a great Circus for another year. The move to June appears to confirmed that our fans are paying attention and show up.
Thanks to all the people who flew, worked, organized and on and on.

Meeting and Event Dates
As usual, there is not a membership meeting in December.
The 2025 Freeze Fly is on January 1st. Coffee and donuts will start around 9ish, with glow airplanes at 10:00 followed soon after by electrics. The format will be mostly similar to the past couple years, maybe three laps instead of two without any required maneuver’s during the laps.
The Banquet to wrap up and review the 2024 year will be held Saturday February 22nd at 6 PM. It will be held at the Bandit Saloon also known as Bob Zaenkert's Barn. It is located at 7461-A Cincinnati Brookville Road, Okeana. Originally built to hold business and family gatherings for Bob's large family, the Bandit Saloon is a large space with a bar area and plenty of seating for a banquet of our size.
Alternate bad weather date is Saturday March 1st.
Scouting Troop 1974 working on their Aviation Merit Badge and camping at our field. Members from the GCRCC, our JetStars, the local EAA Chapter 974, UC Health AirCare and Hogan Flying Service participated in the training.

X Project
The X Project is a GCRCC club sponsored series of events aimed at building club fellowship, camaraderie and
teamwork through the building and flying of a common aircraft. We are using two kits offered by kit
manufacturer Old School Model Works. These planes were picked for their flyability and ease of construction.
If you have never built before, this is the perfect kit for you.
Project Update
From Randy Adams:
I was contacted by one of the contributors of Model Aviation (AMA's monthly magazine) about doing an article for the October issue which is focused on building. They have asked me to do an article on the X-Project. Please take pictures along the way and document anything that you think might help future builders.
You are going to see a lot of push over the next few years to encourage the building of model airplanes again. To some like me that is a welcomed change.
GCRCC's flying site is now a FRIA.
A FRIA is a defined geographic area where RC airplanes can be flown without Remote ID equipment.
