Here are a few pictures taken at the club picnic on Oct.18th at the field.

Though there were few present, they had a great time with lots of food and great company.

Thanks to Charles Cherry for setting up the picnic area and getting the grill going.

(Some came after attending a Halloween party. Thus the strange dress.)

Here’s a report on the results of the 2014 Citywide Fun Fly (by Duane Wright)

This year’s Citywide Funfly was hosted by the Plainfield club on Saturday October 4.  Fifteen pilots attended; five from Plainfield, eight from the Southside, and two from the Eastside club.  As usual, the Plainfield club was a very good host.  Their members are cordial and they have a very nice facility.  Unfortunately, conditions of the day were brutal for this time of the year.  Morning temperature was barely above forty degrees, and the wind was 15-20 mph, with gusts to 30.  As a result, the fun factor was low to nonexistent.  Most pilots spent time when not flying, seeking protection from the elements.  After one miserable round of “flying”, good judgment prevailed and the event was concluded.  The Southside club had the highest club score, and volunteered to host next year’s event.  Proposed scheduling would place the event back to the traditional late summer timeframe.

Thirty First Graders from St. Richards School participated in a field visit to our Indy RC South Rike field on September 23rd. During their visit, club members displayed many different planes, performed a short air show and helped the students fly trainer airplanes. The time flew by (no pun intended) and soon the kids were on their way to the Greenwood Airport for a tour of much larger aircraft.

A special thanks to all of the club members that volunteered for this outing.

In attendance were: Bob Badger, Charles Cherry, John Dunn, Joe Farris, David Griffith, George Hallander, Barb Middleton, Wayne Riddel, Rick Taylor, Al Tucker, Gary Wild and Jeff Yelton.
