AMA News
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.
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.

My friend, Dave Kennedy, sent me the link to the Video of the Month. This video showed how a group of volunteers restored this historic WWII bomber (also used in the Korean War). It was the most technologically sophisticated bomber of its time.
Named the Superfortress, it was a direct descendant of Boeings's B-17 Flying Fortress.
The bomber could reach speeds of 350 mph and altitudes of almost 32,000 feet (its best defense).

LARKS Views
Doyle brought this beauty out to the field recently. Walt piloted the maiden flight, and the plane flew smoothly, though the wind was picking up at times.
I've always loved the look of a biplane in the air. If you're looking to add a great looking scale biplane to your stable, look no further.

A bankruptcy court judge approved Horizon Hobby's $18.8 million purchase of Hobbico's remote-control business Monday, which means Hobbico employees must reapply for their jobs at Horizon before the purchase is completed April 5th.
Horizon is buying Hobbico's Great Planes and Tower Hobbies divisions, along with its Axial and Arrma brands.
The Colorado based Estes Model Rocket division (I remember flying dozens of Estes Rockets in my youth) will be purchased by the Langford Group for 7 million.
I don't know how this effects the thousands of us regular Tower Hobby customers. Time will tell.................
