Over the weekend, the Paul Bunyan Model Fly Club was featured in their local paper, the Brainerd Dispatch for being a club that continues to promote and enjoy the hobby of model aeronautics. One member of the club, Troy Harris says, \u201cI could easily be out here for six to eight hours and so could most of these guys. And to add to the fun, when we come out here we set up a potluck with shaded tents and bring our wives and children and really make a day out of it. We just sit around and talk airplanes and everybody takes turns flying. It\u2019s just a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
The club invites others in the area to stop by the Jim Kounkel Field, a privately owned field on Kounkel\u2019s farm south of Brainerd near St. Mathias to see what it is all about. Jim Thompson, a life-long modeler and Paul Bunyan Model Fly Club member think everyone should try it. \u201cIt\u2019s something you do until it stops being fun,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd that just hasn\u2019t happened yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
