Mesilla Valley Model Aircraft Club Aviation Day Event
Had a great public turnout for our 1st National Model Aviation Day Open House on 13 August. We had support from our neighbors at the El Paso Radio Controllers club as well as a pilot from as far away as Albuquerque! We supported well over 100 spectators and buddy boxed about 20 kids on the club AeroScout Trainers! And the Horizon Hobby AeroScout RTF kit for raffle was won by a first time attendee and pilot on buddy box! This kid is smiling ear to ear and built the kit within the hour after he received it! He joining the club and already securing a sim for our online sim training sessions! A great day for the club and the hobby. Ready to do this again for sure!

San Juan Electric Fun Fly
In June I attended a Electric fun fly in Farmington New Mexico. The San Juan Radio Control Club has this event every June. It is a real laid back fun time. Lots of flying and stories of flying, some true and some maybe not. Ha. They had 16 pilots shooting holes in the sky. There was a pot luck dinner on Saturday.
This is a real fun event to come to. The club will treat you as a member and help in any way. The main goal is to just have fun. Keep this event in mind for next year, it will be electrifying.
