The summer flying season is now in full swing! Just a reminder, take a little time to check out your
aircraft when you get to the field. When leaving, if you are the last person leaving, please double
check that all the locks are secured and the gate lock is going thru the other lock on the chain.
The next time you are at the field, look around and check out all of our new improvements! We have
a new gas grill to replace the old grill. New wood on all of the bleachers, two new aircraft prep
tables, new gravel and drain for the driveway and the lower area parking lot. More improvements
will be forthcoming as the summer progresses. Keep your eyes open for new decals on the T-33 and
its own information / history sign.
I still need volunteers to coordinate the following events:
July 25th, Fun Fly Competition.
September 5, Club Picnic.
October 24th, 6th Annual Halloween Fun Fly Competition.
A coordinator's job is important to the events success, and is simple job and very enjoyable. Past
event coordinators will gladly help out with advice and notes. So please contact me so that we can
enjoy these events. -Anthony Hall JCRC President.
Our Halloween Fun Fly Competition will host the Strangest Aircraft Contest, with a $25 cash prize.
This does not have to be a Halloween themed craft, just different and or weird and must fly. So now
is the time to start getting ready for this fun contest.
I still need volunteers for show and tell presentations. These show and tell segments only need to last
5 or 10 minutes in length and that is including question and answers. The topic(s) can be anything
relating to our hobby (new aircraft, flying procedures, building hints, and/or even personal
experiences). Please volunteer, as I really enjoy these presentations. Contact me if there is a subject
that we should bring up or if you want to give one.

Reminder; our meetings (the last Tuesday of the month) will now be at our airfield, so now is the
time to double check all of your aircraft and bring them out to show off before and after the meeting.
We will also be firing up the grill for meetings, so bring your aircraft and appetite.

Below is the FPV camera system.
All that is needed is a Fat Shark Head Set.
FPV Flying
Did you ever think of getting into FPV but did
not know where to start? Here is a good
place. Horizon Hobby sells an “ALL-IN-ONE
Ultra Micro FPV Camera System”. As the
name implies you can stick this camera on
any small park flyer with good results. The
camera works with 5.8GHz Fat Shark Head
sets. There is no 2.4GHz interference. Just
stick it on your aircraft with its own small
aircraft battery and it is ready to go. This
small camera includes its own video
transmitter in a very small package. It is for
small park flyers because its range is
smaller than bigger systems. This camera
system sells for around $100.
