Date Change: All-Instructor Meeting and Clinic
The date for the all-instructor's meeting and new instructor clinic has changed from this Saturday April 8 to:
Saturday April 22, 9:00-12:00, at the field.
Marymoor R/C Field
Flight Instructors Needed
May is fast approaching and we are getting ready to gear up for our Summer Flight Training! The club is looking for volunteers so if you're a skilled pilot and are available Tuesday evenings, consider signing up to teach others the love of R/C flying! Ideally, the club needs 7-10 instructors. This will allow instructors to spread out the time commitment to everyone involved. We typically have 5 instructors each Tuesday but it would be nice to have an additional instructor to give breaks throughout the evening.
BE EARLY for the SWAP MEET!!
The "Festival of Color" event will happen at Marymoor tomorrow, 12:00-5:00. Very heavy attendance and traffic is expected, so our parking lot might be impacted at that time.
Our swap meet begins officially at 9:00 am. As with all swap meets, if you want to make or find the best deals it pays to be early. There is nothing preventing folks from showing up earlier, and I'll bet many will.
So, there you have it. Two reasons to be early.
See you tomorrow,
- BK1

Transmitter Programming Links
Hi All,
At last night's meeting, the topic was programming your transmitter to make flying easier and more fun, including use of Flight Modes.
Whether you attended or not, these links may be of interest. The first two are available on our website in the Training and Education pull-down menu.

Upcoming Events
We had a great turnout at the Club meeting this month. If you haven't been to a meeting in a while, I highly recommend joining. The February meeting will be held on Thursday the 16th at 6PM at the Redmond community Center. Feel free to bring Show and Tell to the meeting as we reserve time after the main topic for people to show off interesting projects. For the main program, we plan discussing advanced radio features. All the radio brands have additional programming and mixing modes that can help improve the flight characteristics of your airplane.
