2008 JCRC: New Year's Day Fly-in!
We scheduled our fly-no-matter-what-the-weather flying event on Tuesday, January 1. The weather wasn't "perfect" with temperatures in the 40's and 10-15 mph crosswinds, but it was sunny and felt fairly warm for January. Many successful flights were logged and unlike last year, everything went home in one piece!
2008 KCRC & MMRCA: Swap Meets!
In
addition
to the Winter fun we have at the Indoor Fly-In, another nice
off-season Winter activity is attending the various R/C Swap
Meets held throughout our area. In 2008, several JCRC members
attended the
Kansas City Radio Control Club's swap meet on Saturday,
January 19. This is typically the coldest event of the year and
this year didn't feature as much ice as the previous year's
storm.

Additionally, we always have a great amount of fun with our
friends from the Mid Missouri Radio Control Association
in Columbia on Saturday, February 9th. They held their annual
Swap Meet at the Knights of Columbus Hall and everyone had a
good time, if nothing else, just visiting with friends that we
don't get to see as often during the Winter months.

JCRC:
YMCA Indoor Flying!
The 2008 YMCA - JCRC Indoor Flying season. We hope those who participated had a great time. We are grateful for all who supported the events by attending and helping with the setup and break down of each event. We are extremely grateful to the YMCA for allowing us to use their facility for us to have such a great amount of fun. During your spare minutes in Summer when it's too nasty or too windy to fly, be sure to get your next Indoor R/C airplane ready for the 2008 Winter session of Indoor flying! The MMRCA website features many wonderful photos of the JCRC Indoor Fly-in events, check them out!

Toledo:
Exposition!
The 2008 Toledo Exposition was one of the best ever! It is a one-of-a-kind event that anyone with an interest in R/C should attend. There are hundreds of vendors, manufacturers, swap meet items, R/C Celebrities and great friends. It is a long drive from Jefferson City to Toledo, but we have never regretted going once we get there. You need some good walking shoes to cover the Conference Room of the Seagate Center and you go home tired, but glad you went. Here are some pictures taken of the Toledo Show provided by Shaun Zimmerman. Among central Missouri R/C Pilots that attended were Steve Bradford, Jack Slaughter, Roy Seals, Don Maddux, Bryan Zang, plus Stan Zimmerman from Indiana and Tom Nelson of Tennessee, both great friends of JCRC. We'll have a more thorough report soon, but for now, enjoy the pictures. Click here to see the first of three full pages of photos.

Columbia:
Salute to Veteran's Memorial Day Airshow!
The 2008 Memorial Day Airshow held in Columbia, Missouri, on May 24, 2008, was attended by thousands of people. Among the crowd was at least one of our own; John Dussold and his new Canon digital camera! He captured these great photos of the aerial action and shared them with us. Thanks for the contribution John!. Click here to view the photos.
The LORCS Cancer Benefit Fun Fly
was held on Saturday,
May 31st at the Don Harrison Flying Field in Eldon. 100% of
the money raised went to a local relay for life team and we
don't have the grand total yet, but since this was LORCS's biggest event
ever, we're sure the folks in Eldon are proud of what they accomplished with
this fantastic event. Of course, several JCRC Members were among the 30+
pilots that attended. Gerry Hinshaw brought his turbine powered jet, another
first for LORCS. Several door prizes were given away and the food was really
good too! They even had some night flying on the Friday & Saturday
evening portions of the event. Click

2008 JCRC: June Meeting
The
June JCRC Meeting
was held on Tuesday, June 10th at the Miller Memorial
Flying Field. It was a beautiful night and one of the few evenings
of nice clear weather that we've had all year. Therefore, Club
business was taken care of quickly so that our Pilots could take
advantage of the opportunity to fly and we flew until we just
couldn't see any more.

Sedalia: Fly-In
The
Sedalia R/C Flyers Fun Fly
was held on Saturday, June 14th at their flying site
located on the Missouri State Fairgrounds. Somehow they ordered
up the best weather we've experienced at a fun fly all year (so
far)! It was one of those rare days that only happens a few
times of the year. Unfortunately during many of the
days prior to the event there was a lot of rain and their field
was uncommonly muddy, some vehicles even had to be pushed or
pulled out of the mud to get out of the parking lot! Several JCRC Members were in attendance
and everyone had a good time flying and eating good food and
drinking
cold drinks. Our thanks to John Wester and all the Sedalia folks
for their warm hospitality. We have three pages of photos for
your enjoyment!

2008
JCRC: Flying at the MMRCA site in ColumbiaJCRC @ Columbia was a beautiful weekend between flying events where several JCRC Members went up to the MMRCA Flying Field on Saturday, June 21st to enjoy a leisurely day of flying in near perfect weather. Steve Bradford took advantage of the opportunity to give the trailer it's first run down the highway, as well as test fly his Sig Rascal 110, which wasn't without moments of excitement, gratefully Kent Imhoff had the new Saito 1.82 twin running perfectly. Plus Steve continued to practice flying his Giant Super Sportster. Stacy Gillmore arrived with his recently modified Sig Something Extra that is once again glow-powered, as well as his Funtana X. Rick Poire brought his Dragon Lady and Giant Sundancer. Jim Crago brought his helicopters. The sky was a thing of beauty to watch all day as a wide variety of clouds passed over. Not to mention Jack Slaughter and all of the great Columbia MMRCA Members that were there, they even served up great tasting hamburgers! Kenny Johnson brought his LT-40 and Styker. Shaun Zimmerman also took his Sig Rascal 110 and LT-40. Click here to view the photos.
