Patrick Crouch flies an Edge 540 as part of
the
3-D demonstration for spectators.
The Spirits of
St. Louis R/C Flying Club's Seventh Annual
Open House was held September 29, 2007.
Cecil Whitrock oversaw registration and the
transmitter impound, Greg Bohrer was in
charge of the concession stand, and Gene
Jones managed the raffle.
The wind was stronger than the fliers would have liked,
but all registered pilots had an opportunity
to fly. Charlie Booker, Chris White, Patrick
Crouch, and others put on 3-D
demonstrations, and other aerobatic fliers
performed their specialties. Many members
and spectators sat back and enjoyed the
show.
In preparation for the gathering, advertising flyers
were distributed to all area hobby shops.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch ran an
article about the upcoming event.
In addition to a new Futaba spread spectrum radio and
other great raffle prizes, all registered
pilots were eligible to win a Spirits 2008
family membership. Mark Twain Hobbies (Saint
Charles, Missouri) and HobbyTown USA
(O'Fallon, Missouri) were partial sponsors
of the event.
Plans are already being made for next year's Open House. MA
