Northeast Schedule 2025

[Tom Luciano]

Gentlemen,
  It is about that time that we start putting the schedule together for the 2025 season. The Middlesex Modelers have a schedule put together that just needs final approval. We are trying to confirm a venue for the Northeast regional within the next few weeks. Last year, with the Nats and World Championship, our schedule was thrown off of traditional dates. I ask that you please contact me or update this thread as soon as you have an event/events to share. This is so; we can move things, if need be, to deal with conflicts that should arise. I for one, would like to support as many events as possible for the 25 season.

Happy New Year,
Tom

Tom,

Thanks for organizing the contest schedule and keeping the Middlesex Modelers traditions going.  The very first contest I entered was there circa 1973.  Surprised myself by placing third in combat, not even having seen combat flown before.  Ace pit crew of Howard Rush and Ron McNally contributed significantly.

Northern Virginia Control Line (NVCL) is planning not only our Fall Stuntfest contest, but also two fun fly events.  The Spring Fun Fly is for general flying.  The 1/2A event will have "best flight" and "best appearance" for both slab wing and block/log fuselage types, recalling Scientific and Carl Goldberg models powered by Cox / OK / etc.

looking forward to the 2025 flying season,

Peter

May 10 or 17 – Spring Fun-Fly
July 12 – ½ A Block and Slab Fun-Fly
Sept 27 – 20th Annual NVCL StuntFest
