2ND ANNUAL KITEFEST HELD APRIL 14, 2012

Club members for the second year in a row volunteered for Kitefest at A.L. Mangham Regional airport. Members manned a booth at Kitefest disseminating information about our club and the benefits to the community. We provide support for Kitefest, a fund raising event for The Helping House for autistic children, and Kitefest provides an opportunity to increase club visibility by talking about the club with Kitefest visitors. Kitefest was very well attended this year with over 1400 visitors, more than double the attendance last year.

ABOUT OUR CLUB

Our flying site is located in beautiful East Texas at the A.L. Mangham Jr. Regional Airport in Nacogdoches. The club is chartered by AMA and is also a chapter of the Society of Antique Modelers. The club runway is an asphalt strip 75' by 540'. Our club recently completed building a 16' by 48' covered area with a concrete pad and a 16' by 12' storage shed for our club supplies and tractor. Clean restrooms are available in the Pilot's Lounge so bring your family along for a great time. The club has several qualified instructors with trainer planes and buddy boxes. We can provide a hands on flying experience to anyone of any age wanting to learn how to fly.

Club members fly both fuel and electric radio control airplanes and helicopters. Several members are building u-control airplanes with the intent of reviving the type of flying that many of us remember as our first exposure to model airplanes.
