The Hartwell Tailspinners history and news page
Did you know:
Feb 1995
Art Morgan brought his new Sig LT-40 to the club meeting.
Gene Bried brought a gyro copter to the meeting.
A committee of three, Gene Bried, Paul Peniston and John Crosby were selected to investigate leveling and enlarging the field at Eagle Grove. Tom Witman was selected to set up a fun fly in the near future.
May 1995:
An accident happened at the field when two planes were in the air and someone turned on a transmitter with the same channel. Anyone remember the old days? the new 2.4 radios were a game changer!
Remember when flying the old 72mgz units please use the frequency board.
T shirts and hats: I visited the
Fit To A Tee Promotions today in Commerce Ga. I left the hat that Shannon gave me and ask them to duplicate it. I should receive a quote on Hats and T shirts. Please be thinking of the size T shirt you would like to order. I will post the price list here once I receive it. There may be a cost associated with developing the graphic so stay tuned.
