RDRC Fly-For-Tots donation & wrapup...

Fly-For_Tots wrap-up...

This past Wednesday night, October 25, we invited 'Smiles for Little Faces' (a Make-a-Wish group) to our club meeting. A check for $10,000 (!!) was presented to them, and was the proceeds from our September

2-day Fly-For-Tots Fly-in and Huckfest event. It was a goal we set, and didn't think we had a chance in making...but thanks to all the support from everyone, it was achieved!

You can see the event unfold in the "- Sponsor ThankYou!" link in the [Event Stuff] section of the LH menu on our website at

If you haven't done it yet, be sure to check out the slideshow in that same section called "- Fly-For-Tots Pics", and scroll down to the [Club Stuff] section of the menu and look at the October newsletter.

134 registered pilots, HUNDREDS of aircraft, folks from all over the east coast and beyond, HUGE industry support, etc. T'was the largest event in North Carolina, and already has folks slated to demo at the '07 Event!

Thanks again to everyone, and this forum, for helping us make it happen! Dave AMA 119484

It's a term that's a popped up in these parts that basically means 'loads of 3D flying'. I saw on one of the forums (Flying Giants I think...) that "Hucking" was the art of throwing your airplane at the ground, and missing , hehehehehehehehe...

Hope that helps! Dave; AMA 119484
