Eagle Squadron Activities &
Schedules
Jim Flick, Ron
Hayward & Tom Stahlwitz met with Jeff Pierson and
others from Montague Middle School to discuss an
upcoming Young Eagles Build and Fly program at the
school for this spring/summer, sponsored by the AMA
& EAA. The school will be getting a "package"
consisting of a Sig LT-40e kit, with motor, radio,
etc. (everything to build, cover & make it RTF), a
Real Flight simulator and a lighted Vapor for this
program. More on this exciting venture as details
are worked out.
Tom put on an
impressive demonstration flight of his super light &
slow indoor flier in front of about 60 kids.

Follow this link for pics
of 2016 Eagle Squadron Event
https://safarilanephotos.smugmug.com/Eagle-Squadro-2016-Event/
to see the full album of pictures
from the Eagle Squadron session at the Folkert Community Center.
This is the event where our volunteer mentors helped the
students build a glider made from foam sheeting. The event was a
huge success with students, mentors and all in attendance having
a great fun time. After construction of the glider, the students
took the gliders to an adjacent area where a flight course
had been setup in a manner similar to a golf course. The goal
for each student was to toss the glider from hole to hole while
avoiding hazards. The final hole was called the black hole and
had a special challenge with fans and streamers interfering with
the gliders path to the black hole. Please view the photos at
the link above to see what it was all about. Thanks to Folkert
Community center for providing the students and the facilities
for the activities. Also, thanks to Jim Flick and Ron Hayward
for their effort in organizing and prepping for this event.
Additional thanks to all of the members who assisted with
mentoring and to Susie Hughes for her expert photography and
preparing the photo album.
