The San Gabriel Valley Radio League is having flying field maintenance on July 12th and 13th.  The runway and all other paved areas are being repaired, slurry coated, and restriped .  Please schedule these two days off from flying at the Whittier Narrows flying field.  If you are one of the people who donated to our field upkeep fund I would like to thank you for helping to keep our flying area in great shape.

We love our sponsors, and I hope you let them know you’re from the SGVRCL when you shop in their establishments. (IDEA! Wear your SGVRCL club hat when you patronize our sponsors!) Let them know we appreciate their support!

Pegasus Hobbies Beginner RC Classes Flyer (Click to ennlarge)

I have often heard conversations at meetings and at the field about getting new and younger blood into the hobby. Well, one of our most supportive sponsors, Pegasus Hobbies, is doing something about it. During June, they will be offering classes in basic RC for fathers and sons/daughters. (Marta, we should explain to them that we have women in this hobby too don’t ya know!)

Click on the image in the post and you will see their flyer for the classes. If you know someone with a son or daughter who might be interested, encourage them to take advantage of this opportunity and get them to come down to the field after they have gotten a good start at Pegasus. Kenny and I will recruit the heck out of them. (grin)
