Building Projects

Latest Builds on Top

The following are pictures of planes that the members are working on.  ARF's and other non-flying projects are shown but
 can't be entered in the annual building contest.
   Only planes that are scratch-built or built from kits are allowed to be entered.
Every plane, regardless of how well built and detailed, must fly!  The rules clearly state that a qualifying flight will
consist of a takeoff, a 360 degree turn, and a controlled landing.  Models can be re-entered if they did not place in previous contests.
