GALLERY

ONE OF THE SUGGESTIONS THAT I RECEIVED WHEN I FIRST PUBLISHED THIS SITE WAS THE ADDITION OF A SECTION CALLED GALLERY CONTAINING THE OBVIOUS i.e. PICTURES OF SRQ MEMBERS DOING THEIR THING.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE A PICTURE PUBLISHED HERE JUST CLICK  AND E-MAIL ME SOME STUFF.

 IF NOBODY CONTRIBUTES YOU WILL BE STUCK WITH WHAT I CHOOSE.

BATTERY CHARGING STATION

by Edward O'Keefe

 The station was built to make this necessary function safe and convenient. Many SRQ members gave generously of their expertise, time and materials to make the station a reality. Thanks to all especially Norm Chanoski, Gary Schmidt, Dick Teckenbrock, Frank Kagele, and Gene Stutsman.

Jim Claes looks on while Bernie Saloman tries out the newly completed battery charging station.

FANTASY OF FLIGHT

by Edward O'Keefe - images by Ed and Neil Hansen

The SRQ Tuesday/Thursday Flying and Debating Society conducted a field trip to Fantasy of Flight on March 6. In addition to touring the varied static displays, the group participated in a demonstration flight of the restored WWII German Storch STOL aircraft. The Storch was flown by General Rommel in the Africa campaign. After lunch in the Compass Rose Cafe, members had a behind the scenes escorted tour of the fabrication/restoration shops at the facility. This facility was of special interest since several members have had considerable experience restoring damaged R/C aircraft.
