We have scheduled use of our Kishwaukee Park launch site on Davis Road, Woodstock for Saturday, June 23 and June 30, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM.

We will NOT have club launch equipment available at these two launches, but if you have your own launch equipment and want to fly, please feel free to come out and join us as we prepare for NARAM-60.

Midwest Regional Championships 2018 (MWRC) Report – Bob Zurek

Becky and I attended the MWRC hosted by WOOSH at BONG this last weekend.

I finished my last two NRC competition events and moved into 8th place on the NRC all-around list (I’m sure that won’t last for long)

Becky moved in to first place in the A-division A-payload on the NRC scoreboard with a new NAR A-payload record. She followed up by setting new records in the B-payload, C-payload, and D-payload events as well! She is also in first place in the NRC A-division all-around. Way to go Bec!
