Welcome to the Utah Valley Aeromodelers

Saturday June 19th is the Club Annual Fun Fly. Flight demonstrations will be put on between 9:00 and 2:00. The club will be selling hamnburgers, hot dogs and drinks. So come out for lunch and a show. Here are directions to the field. More information is availble in the June Glitch.

The 2009 June Glitch is now available here.

I recently found a great podcast that discusses RC flight. The hosts are upbeat and excited about many forms of rc flight. Have a listen at All Things That Fly

The 2009 April Glitch is now available here.

The 2009 March Glitch is now available here.

I have been hearing from a number of people that Some Dudes Hobby is now selling great quality motors and batteries dirt cheap. I hear these are the same motors the UFO guys use for the wings. Also here is what Jon Finch has to say about the batteries:

Pat at Some Dude's Hobby Store is selling a pretty good battery "economy" battery. The battery is a Zippy FlightMax 1300 mah 3s pack and the price is around $20. You can buy these batteries out of china, but after you figure in shipping, it's almost the same cost. I've tried these batteries out and they seem to perform better then my ThunderPower packs at half the price. The battery would be perfect for the E-200 guys and GWS class.

The 2009 February Glitch is now available here.

The club membership list has been updated. If the information is incorrect or you are not on the list please speak with Mike Gordon.

The 2009 1\2 season begins on March 14th. This year there will be 3 classes. 1 glow and 2 electric. The new electric class is similar to the glow. This year how the races will be ran is changing. Below is the tenative schedule and links for the rules.

Glow 1\2A Rules

E200 1\2A Rules

GWS 1\2A Rules (Coming soon)

The 2008 December Glitch is now available here.

The 2008 November Glitch is now available here.

The last 1/2 A Race (both Glow & Electric) will be held on the 1st of November @ 10:00 am at Eagle Mountain if the weather cooperates.

This being the last race of the year and how late it is in the season we (Don & I) have decided that in the event of bad weather we won't try to re-reschedule it. It will just be canceled and that will be the end of the 2008 Pylon Racing Year and the point standings will end with the points accumulated up through October's race. Check the November's edition of the "Glitch" for where you stand.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Jon Finch and Jeff Packer for stepping forward to volunteer to take on the positions of 1/2 A Glow Co-CD's for the 2009 racing year. Thanks guys, it's a dirty job but somebody's got to do it. As far as I know Don & Jeff and those "leckie" guys are still looking for new meat. Anyone willing to help out should contact Don Trendler at 224-1580. I'm sure he'd be happy to explain what's involved. No Electric CD/CD's would mean no Electric racing program. Everybody needs to take a turn helping out.

OCT 10th 1\2A races Postponed until Oct 18th

The 2008 October Glitch is now available here.

The 2008 September Glitch is now available here.

Wanted Webmaster or assistant Webmaster I'm looking for a club member who would like to help with the website. This is a great project but I have lost almost all interest in it. It is taking far to long for me to get around to updating the site with the Glitch's and other club related info. If you are interested contact Jason Gillies. All that you need is a computer, high speed internet ( or a ton of patience), and some basic knowledge of html. I'm more than happy to help if your html skills are rusty. I just hate to see the site be ignored.
