Model Airplanes

Did you ever want to go watch remote control model airplanes fly? Skymasters is a local (home base Bald Mountain Recreational Area) model flying club and is hosting two upcoming events. These events are called "Float Fly" events because the lake is the runway. Last year there was great weather for these events. Bring chairs, sunglasses, and camera. If the weather is bad, only the bold will fly. The parks are also great to bike or hike while you are there. I plan on having a plane ready to fly on one of these two days. Gives me the jitters thinking about it.
