Awesome! Jeff, great to see it back up in the air! Please bring it to WOSV as it’s a show stopper always.
Ah the good ol days of the Hobby Lobby Yak 54 and Uhu Por! I’m high just thinkin about it! WHere was the Elevator Knife Edge. I still have one but it’s worthless w/o a MP Jet grumble grumble
Some pix of the elevator.
fail…lol
Loved watching those things racing across the sky today!
Thanks to Richard and Cox Cummunications for donating this for our raffle event. It’s a NEXUS7 tablet. Also Roy has graciously donated a brand new Showstring for the event as well. Roy was brought into the club by coming to WOSIII and winning a plane. He and his wife stayed the entire event and actually won the prize as a non member. He joined up the following meeting and has been addicted ever since. Talk about pay it forward this comes out of Roy’s pocket. Kudos to you sir!
New shuttle program for the event, brought to you from DARPA.

Please note the WOSV shirts are not what this survey is for. Although it is under the events column this is for, like David states, the standard RVRC shirt.
WOSV shirt order will be placed the end of this week 5/9. If you want a shirt let a BOD member know ASAP.
The parts listing has 1 main wing, no R/L. I hope it will be easily removable.
The plane is designed for 1300-2200 batteries. We’ll just have to wait and see if you can actually get it balanced with a 2200. It might not be possible since the picture shows the 1300 jammed all the way to the front.
Whoever printed flyers and stuck them at Ronnie’s WAY TO GO! That’s awesome.
update: WOSV general BOD meeting was had. Plans have been reviewed and we are gearing up.
Thanks to Matt Shimchock we have outstanding artwork to present you guys with and the shirt order is in the works. We choose a single color (front/back) design to keep costs down. Members should be looking at around a $11-$14 per shirt price. They will be made available to the general public for around $20 with proceeds to the Wounded Warrior Project.
We are working on full scale attractions. If anyone has any ideas please hit us up. Or if you can bring in something in let us know. We are also looking for a ground to air handheld if anyone has one PLEASE let me know. All this will be dependent on runway conditions and if we can get it cut and cleared.
Please if anyone works for/owns a business willing to donate anything for the raffle let me know. We will gladly put they’re info on our event banners and thank them all day during the event. Of course money would be great but anything is good. Please remind them it’s for our raffle (our biggest money generator) and the proceeds will go to WWP.
Lastly, a work sign up sheet will be made available very soon. It will be in the club house but I will also copy it here. Main duties will be field marshal, shuttle, raffle, registration. One hour shifts and we should have more than enough members to keep these positions filled during the show hours (9-5). Note there will be night flying but like Joe Nall this is open flying and members are asked to marshal safety by making sure pilots adhere to RVRC and AMA safety code.
Gentlemen, spread the word! Tell your friends, family, out of town flying buddies ect. let’s make this a giant success! Again any questions, comments, concerns please don’t hesitate to contact me. 540.314.8866 , joshmay1@comcast.net
