( next date June 23, 2017)

There will be 10 flying sessions this year. From the Association of Indoor Modelers website:

Hello indoor flyers,

We have the dates for the rest of 2017.   All dates and times are listed on the calendar.

The suggested donation is $100. Last year some opted to pay only $10/night and you can still do that if you need. Please consider paying the entire amount so we can afford to keep flying at this wonderful facility. As usual, if you fly RC, you will need to be a current AMA member to complete your AIM membership. You can start the process now by visiting the AIM Membership Request page: http://www.emf.club/?page_id=4493 or by bringing your AMA membership card and a check, or cash, to the next flying session. Kite flyers do not need AMA. You are strongly encouraged to pay by using our PayPal form at: http://www.emf.club/?page_id=4493. The form will let you pay using your PayPal account or your credit card.

Much more info at their website: EMF.club

Saturday, February 11, Tecolote Shores, Map If You Need It

Fly All Day, Meeting at Noon’ish Sharp
Update!Update!Update!
Signs at Tecolote Shores say parking is closed on Saturday until Noon.
History says you might be able to park a bit sooner but no promises.
This will delay the start of the Fighter Kite Competition until sometime after the 1100 start stated on your postcard.
Some early starters will likely go to Mariners Point for awhile then move to Tecolote Shores later.

Lunch: Yes as almost always, Your donation welcome to help cover costs.
Want to bring lunch for the group? Contact Iris at treasurer@sandiegokiteclub.org

Activity:Annual Fighter Kite Challenge (rescheduled from a soggy New Years Eve Day)
Club Class: Everyone flies the same type kite supplied by the Club (this year Buka’s for $6) and the winner gets a coveted Paper Dragon Trophy from Prez Dave.
Open Class:Bring and fly your favorite fighter. Winner gets their name on the Perpetual Trophy and custody for a year (I believe).
Hot Tip: Best to bring your own fighter kite line if you can but it is likely possible for novices to borrow some if needed.
Hot Tip II: This is a very friendly competition and a great event for novices to get a taste of kite fighting American style.

Saturday and Sunday, March 11 and 12, Huntington Beach Pier, Map If You Need It

What Is It? KP is one of the few relatively local kite events left for us. It is put on by the kite store on the pier, Kite Connection. It is not exactly a festival and certainly not a competetion. It is kite friends from around the country and the world getting together to fly kites, have a good time, and show off a bit to the public.

Rules: If you want to be an official participant and fly in the two designated kite fields you must register. Registration is limited. However, if just want to come and watch registration is not required. Plus it is a big beach, if you want to fly and aren’t registered just move down the beach a bit and fly for awhile.

Official Rules, Info, and Registration at: www.kiteparty.com

Glen Mitchell’s Video of last years event can be found here: Kite Party Video

Note: This is the second weekend of the month and conflicts with our SDKC meeting. Since many in the Club attend Kite Party it was voted to move the General Meeting to the next weekend, Saturday March 18
