2009 JCRC: Maybe We'll Fly If It's Nice Enough Outsite New Year's Day Fly-in!

The event was held on Thursday, January 1st. About a dozen JCRC members gathered at the Miller Memorial Flying Field to enjoy a nice time together sharing Christmas stories of new R/C gifts received and to get in a flight or two despite the windy and cold conditions. There were some interesting flights due to the light contrast that Winter months bring that make it difficult to view a model if it gets on the shadow side of the field. Rick Poire described one of Tom Copeland's landings as a "5-Point Landing" - wingtip, nose, wingtip, tail & wingtip before it stopped! At least he was there and flying! It was a good time and certainly a far cry from last year's first day of the year, so 2009 is already looking promising! Here we go! Click here to view the photos.

JCRC Feature Photo: 1:10th scale Saturn V Rocket - Apollo 11 

 

 

Several of the Mid-Missouri modelers that attended the 2009 Toledo R/C Trade Show were amazed by the center-piece model rocket that was on display for all to see. This isn't your average model rocket and the pictures have a difficult time showing the true size of this incredible labor of love. A guy named Steve Eves has assembled a scale model of the Saturn V Apollo 11 rocket that is 36 feet long! Amazingly, that is still only 1:10th scale. You would have to line up 10 of these end-to-end to equal the size of the real Saturn V, which was launched 40 years ago. In honor of that anniversary Steve, along with the help and sponsorship of many others have assembled this most impressive rocket that will be launched on Saturday, April 25th, 2009 with live coverage available on the Internet.
