IRCM (Eastside), SPAD Combat, Sat 10/10 @ Noon, Morristown, IN

[Chuck Baker]

For all you folks that have been building SPADS the current plan is to meet at the field at high noon for a SPAD Fly. 

If you want be a spectator you may want to get there early as this may last only a few minutes. 

There will be open flying before and after but you probably don't want to be in the air when this event is going on.

Here's the info from Tony Stillman on how to set one up...

Here is a document I put together to assist you in the build.  Since the original version is so old (uses 72Mhz radio and brushed motor w/Nicad batteries), the attached list will help you to get all the items you need together. 

Any questions, email me or call!

And here's the original post with links...

Fellow member Tony Stillman suggested we might get a group together and do some combat with very inexpensive foam airplanes. He passed out fliers at the meeting on how to build a very inexpensive airplane for the purpose. You can find  the information you need to build one here: https://spadtothebone.org/PDF/Espa3D.pdf

If you want to look into this type of airplane more for yourself, please note the web site apparently has changed from spadtothebone.com (totally defunct now) to spadtothebone.net (looks OK at first but is very difficult to navigate and most of it just doesn't work!) and apparently the one you really want is spadtothebone.org...

Consider joining in for some some demolition derby... rc aircraft style!
