Maintenance day!
A big THANK YOU to all those that came out to help get things ready for the 2019 flying season!
Lots of soldering and cleaning plus some talking and eating. (ok, maybe a lot of talking and eating...)
And a special thanks to Fred for taking a few of the launch pads back for a little much needed TLC. Some of you folks are hard on the equipment. ;)
We're ready, see you all in April.

Maintenance Day March 24th
With our flying season soon to begin we need to do some work on our
launch equipment. So we have scheduled a maintenance day for Sunday,
March 24th. We needed to do Sunday because the Man has Roger working his
tail off!
Please let us know if you are able to attend. We will need to do some cleaning and soldering.
Lunch is on the JMRC!
We will be at Roger's house at 4788 Moon Lake Rd. Jackson, MI. We'll start about 10:00am and work until we get done or the food is all gone...
Come on Spring!
