Hey guys! I have coordinated a Saturday flight demonstration with The Rivanna Radio Control Club at their location at Milton Field for homeschooling families. This is a totally free program they are offering us. There are restrooms available and there is a pavillion with a few chairs (but I would recommend bringing your own if you want to guarantee having one and/or blanket to sit on). The program will start with about 15 minutes explanation of radio control and then a demonstration of a variety of craft such as airplanes, jets, gliders and/or drones. Could last for an hour or two.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, THIS EVENT IS VERY, VERY DEPENDENT ON THE RIGHT WEATHER AND COULD BE CANCELED VERY CLOSE TO THE EVENT SHOULD THE CONDITIONS NOT BE FAVORABLE! If Saturday ends up not being a good day to do this, Sunday, September 29th is the rain/wind makeup date and then if that gets canceled as well, I'll probably shoot to redo it a date later in October. ALL AGES ARE WELCOME!
This is just going to be a light family-friendly of all ages explanation and demonstration and will not be a hands-on training type of program. While there is no minimum or maximum, please do let me know if you plan to attend, how many in your party and ages, so I can have some sort of idea on number in our group to tell them and what to expect. They did let me know that should we have enough interest a bit later on, we could organize a program for around ages 8+ as this is around the age they recommend for getting more in-depth with the hands on and learning/training to fly type of program.
