Hello Jim - Thanks for finding us, I look forward to the stories!

Hey Tom, thanks for stopping by.  We are looking forward to having you fly with us, or should I say, your guidance system fly with us!

Steve

Hope you can join us at Poplar Ford Park tomorrow (Sunday).
Steve

Hello and welcome to NVRC!  We'll be happy to have you join us when you arrive.  Do you have a current AMA membership?
Steve

NVRC will once again support the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum's Become a Pilot Day.  We're looking for volunteers - volunteers get in for free and are provided with lunch.
Steve   

"Save the date for the Museum's most popular summer event at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, VA near Washington Dulles International Airport. Enjoy educational activities and an outdoor aviation display with dozens of visiting vintage, recreational, military, and homebuilt aircraft.  Talk to pilots and find out what skills are needed to fly.  Inside the Center, test your piloting skills in flight simulators, meet model airplane experts, and hear a variety of guest speakers. The event is free and open to the public. Parking is $15."

Hello Geng - there should be folks out at Burnett field this weekend.  Best thing for you to do is email Ken Bassett at rcflyer132@aol.com to coordinate arrival with him since we're behind a locked gate.
thanks,
Steve

Great pictures!

Hello Ali - we do have a few members that fly helicopters and they are certainly welcome at the field.  Many members do fly small electrics such as the E-flite MCX, but these are indoor models.  Since heli's fly in the landing/take-off area for airplanes, pilots just need to coordinate when there are a bunch of people flying at a given time to ensure there aren't any mid-airs.  It's as easy as an airplane pilot announcing that he'll be landing and the heli pilot taking his heli away from the runway.  It will be more of a challenge to get flight instruction on a heli, but we do have a few members that are excellent heli pilots.   

I think the sim will help greatly.

The forcast for Sunday isn't great, but there will be a handful of us at the Tree farm Saturday mid morning.
Steve

But they're calling for sunny skies and good temps on Saturday!  I discussed this with a few folks yesterday, and a bunch of us are going to convene at the Tree Farm field on Saturday mid morning for a quick board meeting from 10-11.  Ken confirmed he'll bring the club trainer so if you can show up Saturday, that would be great.  Sunday will probably be a wash out.

Our field at the Tree Farm is behind a gate so unless you follow one of us in, you'll need to call to be let in.  My number is 703-517-0941, give a call when you get there and we'll let you in.  I'm going to try to be there around 9:30.

Steve   

cool!  It's doubful you'll have your membership card back by Sunday so just be sure to bring your AMA card and you'll be good to go. 

sounds good.  I may stop by if the weather is okay.  I'm planning to go to the Snow Fun Fly on the 23rd, it will be open flying after the event which is from 10-12?.

Also, you should try to make our meeting on the 21st!

Hey AsskickinChicken - The club has a few trainers that we use for flight training, so this would be a great way for you to get some initial stick time.  Your best bet for meeting us at the field is on those days we have access to the Poplar Ford Park flying field (third Sunday and following Saturday of each month, see "Upcoming Events" frame on right of websit).  Sunday the 17th is the next day we have the field so as long as the weather is good, please come out and join us.  Ken Bassett (rcflyer132@aol.com) has the club trainers so you'll want to touch base with him to ensure he'll be bringing them out.

While visiting my in-laws in Tucson this past week, I was fortunate enough to be able to watch the Tucson Aerobatic Shootout on Sunday.  All I have to say is WOW!  The planes were huge 40% beauties and the pilots tossed them around like foamies.  Billy Hemple put on a really cool demo with a gigantic 60% Cub and flew a great sequence in a very small area.  Pictures don't really do it justice, but here are a few.
