It looks as though the AMA and the FAA will not reach an agreement before the 19th.

2016 LARKS Spring Fling-April 1-2
We have been involved in introducing modeling to children of all ages, sending children to camp, doing flying demos at local schools, churches, and parks. We have also set up simulators and static displays at various locations as an educational experience to our community. We are always open to new ideas to promote our hobby to others in a safe way.
OK! It's not a plane, but a great way to keep you skills sharp in the comfort of your office.
Gary Hair became a member at the February meeting. He said that he got the bug again after visiting Joe Nall last May. Welcome!

LARKS Mission Statement
To promote model aircraft building and flying as a family oriented hobby, to freely and openly share what we have collectively learned and experienced, and to provide an enjoyable, friendly and safe environment for our fellow hobbyists and guests.
