Here's the event flyer.

Seriously, any interested vendors please contact me.

Thanks to generosity in the past, our vendors donated items that we were lucky to raffle off and generate funds to run our club for another year. Please consider attending or donating items to raffle. voichemg@npenn.org

Out of curiosity, would you allow an Air Swimmer fish??

Air Swimmers - Awesome RC Flying Shark and Clownfish! (1 min 43 sec)

It's fly at your own risk. They seem like fun. Would you like to demo it for a few minutes during noontime? I could allow you to fly in the stands as well. I would hate to see the thing get shredded by a prop.

The raffle prizes are starting to show up. I received 9 speed controls from Castle Creations! We're really thankful for their vendor support!

Actually I was thinking of really high near the ceiling or just off the floor an inch or two.

Tower Hobbies sent us some gift certificates as prizes too! Thanks Tower!

Is AMA membership required?

BM

No, AMA is not required. I make my students get it and encourage everyone to get it for supporting our national organizations.

Thank you for your reply but I believe I will pass on this event.

BM

I'm sorry to hear, but that's just more prizes for the rest of us!

Although Santa didn't bring me any flying toys this year I'm still excited about the event this coming January 26th! I have to put the finishing my Park Scale Models Maule 7 that I started two months ago.

I just received word that 3DX Hobbies will be at our event!
