The Marymoor Radio Control Club recently announced that it will be holding an exhibition of flyable radio-controlled aircraft at The Museum of Flight in Seattle on November 4.
Members of the Marymoor Radio Control Club will be on site to engage attendees, answering question about the models and the competition involved with radio-controlled flying.
The Marymoor Radio Control Club promotes the hobby and sport of radio controlled model airplane flying. There are approximately 300 memberships enrolled in a Membership of the Marymoor Radio Control Club.
In addition to sharing information of the hobby, the club holds special events often and monthly meetings, as well as "maintains the model airfield in Marymoor Park in accordance with a use agreement with King County Parks Division."
At the Museum of Flight event, there will be various aircraft models including sport flyers, simple trainers and high-speed jets. Many of the models provide significant detail often appearing to be smaller versions of the real planes they are based on.
The event begins at 10am and ends at 5pm. It is free with purchase of admission to the museum.
Air Zoo, located in Kalamazoo, Michigan, also announced this month that museum attendees will be able to learn about the Guff, the world's first successful radio controlled aircraft.
The Guff was created by Walter and William Good. The two brothers were originally from Kalamazoo and went to Kalamazoo College. Their Guff won the first place at R/C Airplane Nationals in 1939,1940 and 1947.
The display at the Air Zoo museum includes a replica model of the Guff, a radio transmitter, biographies on the Good brothers and a video of some of their Guff flights.
Air Zoo has made many significant announcements this year, including a new replica of a 1928 Curtiss Robin and that the National Association of Flight Instructors is moving its headquarters to Air Zoo.
“Over the past few years, the Air Zoo has undergone significant expansion, growth and revitalization,” said Bob Ellis, Air Zoo president and CEO. “We see partnerships with aviation organizations such as NAFI as ways our organization can promote aviation to visitors from around the country and continue our growth of participation in the overall aviation community.”
Those in the general aviation community are reminded to consider pilot life insurance early on in their career to provide for loved ones no matter what.
