Airborne
Annual model air show set for
take off next Saturday, Sunday
Senior ‘spellers’ head to Inkster
The large crowds gazing into the skies over
the field at the corner of Geddes and Ridge
roads next weekendmay have some questions
about what they are seeing.
From 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. next Saturday
and Sunday, spectators will be watching
pilots in action flying models that are at least
one-quarter the size of the real planes they
duplicate, flying the aircraft just as they have
for 30 years at the annual exhibit.
The event is sponsored by Flying Pilgrims
Radio Control Club members who organize
the show to demonstrate the radio controlled
airplane hobby to the general public. This is,
in fact, the 30th year for the show which has,
according to member John Lane, a universal
appeal to young and old alike. He said that
attendance of several hundred spectators a
day is normal at the event which is family
friendly.
The airplanes to be displayed and flown
are what enthusiasts refer to as "Giant Scale".
This means the model must be at least one-
quarter the size of the real aircraft and
include both turbine jet and propeller driven
models. Wingspans over 100 inches are com-
mon, Lane said, andmost of themodels weigh
between 15 and 50 pounds. The engine power
ranges from3 to 12 horsepower.
"These are not small models," Lane
stressed.
The models are scheduled to fly all day
during the show, and perform aerobatic
maneuvers during their flights. At noon flying
is suspended for a time so spectators can
inspect the airplanes up close and ask ques-
tions of the pilots. The models feature all the
aspects of the full size aircraft as well includ-
ing retractable landing gear, flaps, and
"smoke" systems, among other common fea-
tures, Lane said.
The 200-member Flying Pilgrims club is a
member of the Academy of Model
Aeronautics, a national organization that has
approximately 160,000 members nationwide.
The academy represents modeler's interests
on the national level with government agen-
cies suchas theFCCandFAA, Lane added.
Admission to the show is free but a $5 park-
ing donation is requested which includes all
occupants of the vehicle. For more informa-
tion, contact Lane, (248) 348-1156.
