Welcome
Welcome to the Utah Valley Aeromodelers Club Website! We are an all-ages RC club looking to have some fun flying! Whether you are just starting out or are a competition level pilot, we welcome you to come fly with us!
Our Vice President, Paul Steiner, will be hosting our annual Night Fly May 19, 2012, from whenever to whenever!
If you have not tried night flying come out and try it! There are numerous people in the club that would be willing to help you out.
The LED's we use to light up the planes are pretty cheap online, and there are even sources here locally where you can buy them. Russ Ross in our club even sells them (at prices you can hardly find anywhere online!
- Come and participate in the night fly and get a patch!
- We will have some lights set up in the pits to allow people to do normal pit activities (fueling, fixing, etc.)
- If desired, we will put some glow sticks on the runway (We never use lights on the runway anymore, but we can put them out if people need them).
- On the 19th the moon will be a 3% Waning Crescent, but it will set before we start flying. It will be good and dark!!
- Bring mosquito repellent just in case!
- Come as early as you like. It will be pretty dark by about 9 or 9:30ish.
- Some people like to fly just after sunset and keep flying till it gets darker and darker for their first night flight or, you can just wait till it is completely dark and go for it!
- Michael will pick up some pizza. Bring a couple bucks to kick in if you want some! Bring your own drinks!
We invite EVERYONE to come out and participate or just to watch! You WILL have fun!
