There were some fantastic aircraft at the Warbirds & Classics Over Michigan event at C.A.R.D.S. near Lansing June 4 - 6. Here are links to some of the video I posted on YouTube.

Car Bachhuber's 1/5 scale, 180 inch wingspan Heinkel He111 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFuYmcLEHCU
A gaggle of large WWI planes in the air together, including some footage from the gunner's seat of my Sopwith Strutter - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nlz4o-izPkI
A collection of landings in the challenging cross-wind conditions - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJuj-1cZw1Y

The last one also a provides a good sample of the aircraft models flown there.

This was the first in the Warbirds & Classics Alliance events. There is a another event in the series, about the same distance in the other direction July 17 - 19. Many of these modelers and their aircraft (or similar ones) will be there. Its the Warbirds & Classic over Chatham. Click for a flyer with details. It's only about 2 hours from our RCCD field.

Bruce and I enjoyed the MRCA Aerotow event just south of Ann Arbor on Saturday There were some very large gliders present, but we were welcomed even though we had a couple of foam aircraft.
Note that it is very important to get the correct body English when flying gliders!

The Farmington public access TV channel has a series called Exploring Hobbies. Here is the episode on Radio Control that they will air, probably in February. Randy Nunez hosted the discussion while his son Jason and Brian Golden produced it. No prize for knowing who the guest is!

From Richard J.

"Flying today in cold Florida. 50 deg. I must admit it is warmer than our RC club in Michigan. The great thing is it has been almost 2 years since flying due to my health issues and Ediths Stay warm ,
love Richard and Edith "

Richard is back to teasing us (It is 1 deg F this morning here!), but great to see him at a flying field again.
