2010 Kid's Fly

On July 10, 2010 we threw our annual Kid's Fly party.  Hosting the Spina Bifida Association of Greater Cincinnati, we give them the best of our best: a picnic at a beautiful site, Dale's Pulled Pork, Bob and Karen's famous grillin' fare and an opportunity to fly an airplane. GCRCC raised and donated $3,000.

Open House a Success

Thanks to everyone who made the first AMA sponsored Take-Off and Grow, GCRCC Open House on May 31, a great success. Despite the windy weather, we introduce twenty one people to RC flying. About thirty five GCRCC members turned out to help. At this point, three of the attendees are joining GCRCC and the AMA. We hope others will follow. Look for an even better event in 2009.

We are happy to email any participant full resolution copies of our pictures. Click here for the gallery of photos. Please note the file name under the picture and contact Mike Slaughter for copies.

Congratulations to GCRCC member Mark Feist for his first place win in 424 class Sunday. Thanks to all the GCRCC volunteers who made this event a success. A special thanks to the Zeislers for once again providing the fine dining. Results are available on the CAPS website.
