- Former club member, Paul Kriner (passed away) had a nice collection of airplanes that his wife, Mary, would like to see go to good homes. She has tasked Bob Fleckenstein to handle selling them (and some radio gear). They will be available at the Frontier Fun Flyers upcoming swap meet on October 6th at the Air Museum (Google for more information). If you contact Bob, he'd be glad to sell you one or more prior to the swap meet. Call or text Bob at 907-903-1309 for info. Click here is a picture showing the planes that are for sell. A couple have already been sold, so hurry!
Anchorage House of Hobbies' Pretty Plane
This month's winner of the Anchorage House of Hobbies' Pretty Plane contest is Jeff Muller! This beautiful Sig Four Star 20 EP was built from a kit Jeff purchased at Anchorage House of Hobbies! With a wingspan of 48" and a 38" overall length, this plane comes in weighing just a bit over 2.5 lbs. Power is provided by a 40-class electric 850 motor. Jeff decided to put on slightly larger 3" wheels and added an air exit hole for additional cooling. He says his pilot is a friendly Russian! To top it all off, it only took him three weeks to put this kit together and he already has his eyes on his next build! Jeff took home a $50 gift certificate from Anchorage House of Hobbies for his excellent craftsmanship!
JBER RC REMAINS CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE! The military implemented a new regulation as of late December 2015 that closes JBER RC field when the base is at threat level FPCON B (which it is currently) or higher. Do not attempt to go out there for any reason until further notice. We will be able to fly on base again when the threat level is lowered or when they change that policy. Base Ops and security has been alerted to not allow anybody to fly out there.
