Hagerstown, MD,
November 13, 2007 – The November carrier landing event was a lot of
fun and a great success. Steve Jones
built the carrier which also had electric landing lights. We even tried a
couple of night landings. The overall winner was Mike Arnold,
however, apparently none of us have a bright future as a naval aviator. Most attempts could be better categorized as
crash landings (one quote, “death and destruction”). The club hopes to have another carrier
landing event in the spring. Also at the
meeting, new member Mike Wheeler displayed his car builds, one of which took
third place at the IPMS Region 2 Convention contest held in

Hagerstown, MD,
October 9, 2007 – Preparations for
the November carrier landing event begin in earnest during our October
meeting. Multiple members brought models
in progress or completed models for modification in preparation of the big landing
event scheduled for the November regular meeting. Steve Jones completed design and construction
of the carrier deck and demonstrated the basic “flying” and landing techniques
specific to his carrier deck. The
landing deck is even fitted with lights for night operations. Contestants will attempt to land their models
on the carrier deck, earning progressively higher points by putting the tail
hook “in the spaghetti” and on the best arresting wire. For those that survive the initial landings,
we will turn off the lights and land them in the dark.
