Happy 244th birthday<\/strong> America! I hope that we can get out and celebrate.<\/p>\n

I am writing this on April 28. Kansas City, Missouri, has extended the lock-down until May 16, and that will only be a partial opening. The experts, are saying it will be July before there are any signs of normalcy. The news and even commercials are only about corona-virus. I guess it\u2019s ironic that I am writing about the exact thing I am complaining about.<\/p>\n

I did not receive<\/strong> any submissions this month, so I am going to do a story on my local club, the Northern Knights Radio Control Club of Kansas City. We are a diverse club, with a wide range of disciplines and ages, both male and female. We have had a lot of new people join the club lately.<\/p>\n

One of the newcomers is Amber Rios. She is an outdoor-type girl who likes fishing, biking, gardening, and walking in the woods. She started dating Tony Becerra, one of our members, who is at the field several times a week. Being an outside girl, she would always come to the field with him. Amber really never gave flying much thought, she just enjoyed being outdoors with her guy.<\/p>\n

When Valentine\u2019s Day came along, Tony bought Amber a Horizon Hobby S Cub. It worked. She was excited and told him that an airplane would last a lot longer than flowers. So off they went to the field to try it out.<\/p>\n

Amber only needed minimal instruction and loved every minute in the air. A mere two months later, Amber is having a great time and already flying other people\u2019s airplanes to determine what she would like to get next. She is also excited to join in the ranks of club level combat.<\/p>\n

I am sure Amber will do well with this. Her enthusiasm is very high and fun to watch. Amber, welcome to the world of model aviation!<\/p>\n

Because of COVID-19<\/strong>, I expect the submissions to be nonexistent because of all the canceled events. Therefore, I am making the following request. Sent me a short write-up and a few pictures from your club\u2019s event from last year. Heck, it doesn\u2019t even need to be a club event, it could be a short write-up of your club and pictures from the flying and camaraderie of your club\u2019s weekends flying.<\/p>\n

To see your club in the magazine, simply send me a submission via email to AMADistrictVI.modelaircraft.org<\/a> with the word “magazine” in the subject line. To this point, I have put every submission received into the magazine. I promise to continue doing that even if I am drowning in submissions! I will end by asking you to introduce someone to model aviation regardless if it is on a buddy box or on your simulator.<\/p>\n
