Fellow Enthusiast,
I and a few people that I have spoken with this past year in and around south central Indiana are.... and we would if one were available!

Apparently early bird and WWI enthusiasts are allotted in quantities of 2 or 3 persons per club .... or so it seems.  Wouldn't it be great to get  together a couple of times a year and savor  a whole model airfield full of fabric covered wings, flying wires and round engines!  Early birds and the "Dawn Patrol"  flying scale models in exactly the way the  designers had intended. " Mission Oriented Flying" at its best.  Those magnificent men and their flying machines!   Can you imagine all of that?  What a picture!  It could happen, and it is within our grasp!            

Goals:

1. Pure Pilot Enjoyment.
   
   
2. Promotion of our hobby/sport to the public.
   
   
3. Presentation of aviation history using R/C models and mission oriented flying. From the Wright Flyer, WW1, and the Golden Age of Aviation.
   
   
4. An annual fly-in for scale aircraft, early birds through World  War I,  in central Indiana.
   

    
In a nutshell, here it is.  If you are interested, then get with your friends and acquaintances who are like-minded.  Visit at one another's flying fields every 2 - 4 weeks or so and generate some local interest.  You will find more WWI enthusiasts in your area than you thought existed in the whole region.  These actions  and events would occur during 2004.  Keep us informed by e-mail and  hopefully toward the end of the flying season we can find a spot with the most interest  and the best field and kick off our inaugural annual  WWI Fly-In.  This would continue and grow during 2005.  Also during 2005 a few 1/3 scale birds should begin appearing.  The second annual  fly-in would  be held.  It might even be at a different location, it will be a rousing success!  In 2006 - I can see it now - the 3rd Annual Fly-In, WWI style with 20 or more 1/3 scale planes.  Oh Man!  It just keeps getting better.
