We are
excited about this event and
welcome the Boy Scouts of America!

A
busy summer is winding down at the
International Aeromodeling Center. The Nats
is through for the year, and a number of
other events including the International
Radio Controlled Helicopter Association's (IRCHA)
Jamboree, Helicopter and F3B (RC Soaring)
Team Selections, Society of Antique Modelers
(SAM) Championships, Scale warbird, and
several FF events have taken place at the
flying site.
As I write this, we are in the final planning stages of a
huge, fun-filled event in October: Mission
Radio Control. The Boys Scouts of America
and the Academy of Model Aeronautics have
teamed up for the Crossroads of America
Council Fall 2006 Camporee.
The weekend event is expected to bring several thousand Boy
Scouts and Cub Scouts to the site to
participate in a variety of hands-on
activities including flying buddy boxes,
operating RC cars and boats, making kites,
and building Sky Streak models to take home.
Other events and displays will include an LED night-fly
spectacle, a visit to the National Model
Aviation Museum, a show-car display, an
obstacle course, a catapult range, and much
more! We are excited about this event and
welcome the Boy Scouts of America!
Is your name on the Walk of Fame?
More than 500 individuals, clubs, and
organizations have purchased bricks in the
Walk of Fame in front of AMA Headquarters in
Muncie, Indiana.
AMA offers three levels of donations: $100, $500, and $1,000.
Purchasing a brick in the Walk of Fame is a
great way to show support for your favorite
hobby and sport for future generations. If
you have questions about this program,
please send me a note or give me a call, and
I will assist you in any way I can.
As in previous columns, I am including a portion of the list
of those who have purchased bricks. I will
do so until all have been recognized. See
what people and organizations will have
names at AMA Headquarters for life.

Safe flying.
