Well Richie got a little tired of hand launching his Stryker so as a winter afternoon project he decided to add some custom landing gear. Man did he do a great job and to everyones surprise the plane flew and landed really well.
Kevin has schemed his Corsair after Lucybelle, Pappy Boyington's Famous Baa Baa Black Sheep Corsair. Have a look at what has been going on at the "Field of Dreams" this week... View Pictures || View Corsair Video || View Racing Video

***Endurance Flight Challenge*** Captain Fowler has come up with an idea for an endurance flight challenge. Sounds easy right? Wrong! Here's the deal. You must pilot your aircraft from the back of a moving pick-up truck. Well, that's not too hard you say... Well here's the catch... For this challenge we will be required to fly non-stop from the SMAC airfield to Monticello, KY and back to the field without refueling, or landing. This is approximately 36 miles round trip!!! Teams will have to develop innovative approaches to complete this journey. We are still in the planning stages for this event so keep an eye out for posted updates. If interested please contact a club officer or one of our members for additional information. We will keep you posted as new information arrives and make it available on the web site.
