The Casa Grande RC Flyers will host an event on Dec. 8 to celebrate National Model Aviation Day. The event will be from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the clubs flying field off of Isom Road. The event is free but donations of non-perishable food items or cash will be accepted to benefit the Casa Grande Food Bank. The club has been hosting this event for six years, as long as the club has been in existence. The members of the club will be flying fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and drones. The public is encouraged to come and learn more about the hobby of RC flying. The club will also have their second swap meet of the winter season the morning of Dec. 8. Twister Entrees, a new food vendor, will be onsite serving breakfast and lunch for visitors. Over the last six years, the Casa Grande RC Flyers have raised money and provided needed items to charities such as the Casa Grande Food Bank, the Wounded Warrior Project and the Valley Humane Society. The club will host the "Fly In For Hospice" event on Jan 12, 2019 and profits will be donated to Hospice Charitable Fund of Central Arizona.
