PERE MARQUETTE TOWNSHIP — The Twisted Sticks Radio Controlled (RC) Club will hold its fourth Summer Fun Fly event Saturday, July 27 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Hull Field, 5960 W. Chauvez Road, west of the Mason County Campground. In case of inclement weather, the event will be held on Sunday, July 28, same times.
The free event is open to the public and will include flying demonstrations of all types of remote controlled aircraft. Visitors will have the opportunity to fly a trainer plane or use a computer simulator. Candy drops will take place at noon and 3 p.m. A combat flight demonstration will take place at 2 p.m.
Free hot dogs will be served beginning at 11 a.m. The event will also include a raffle drawing for a ready-to-fly remote controlled plane.
The club recently received a $500 Takeoff and Grow grant from the Academy of Model Aeronautics Foundation. Funds from the grant will be used to fund the Fun Fly event.
“Last year we introduced local residents of all ages to radio control model aviation, and we are planning for even more guests, fun, and excitement this year,” said Shayne Eskew, president of Twisted Sticks Radio Controlled Club.
The event will also feature a raffle for a ready-to-fly Sport Cub S model plane as well as other radio-controlled items. The drawing will be at 4 p.m. but the winner does not have to be present.
