The Blacksheep RC Modelers Host 11th Annual Warbird Fly-in

-A A +A

The Blacksheep RC Modelers had their 11th Annual Warbird Fly-in on June 30. The event was hosted at Corsair Field in Danville, IN. The club’s event was open to the public and had a good turn out despite the hot and humid weather. There were many planes including Warbirds from WWI, modern day and giant scale models. There was a bomber gathering, a T-28 gathering and an EDF gathering featuring Motion RC EDF jets. Each registered pilot received a prize that was donated by the event sponsors. The prizes included a DX8E radio, multiple AS3X 6 channel receivers, tee shirts, hats and two micro planes from Horizon Hobby and Spektrum. Each year, a plane wins the title of Director’s Choice, Pilot’s Choice and People’s Choice. This year Director’s Choice was awarded to club member Stephan Woods’ large Balsa USA Fokker DVII. Pilots Choice was awarded to John Lawyer’s phoenix A-26, a rare plane that was nitro powered. People’s Choice was awarded to Bryan Baumer’s Freewing F-4 Phantom. The event also had an open raffle and proceeds went to support the club. The AMA would like to thank the Blacksheep RC Modelers for hosting this event each year.
