Patty,
My F-18 from August of 2023 at the Baldwin, Mi.
Boondoggle put on by LCMFA, Lake County Modelers &
Flyers Assoc. Where I won the Top Gun Award from JPO
with this F-18 5.5 scale. The jet is set up with twin
Kingtech engines, stock servos, no gyro(s), a fully
active cockpit with operational screens that change
viewpoints and pilot that both arms and head moves.
This is a fantastic flying Jet, Very predictable with no
bad tendencies in flight.

Subject: Pics of local community event
Patty,
Recently I had the opportunity to attend a community
event for a local STEM program with my flying club.
It was for the Southern Maryland Jr. College STEM
program. It is a youth outreach program that
involves local schools and get them interested and
exposed to a wide variety of science and tech
programs.
On display was the 1/5th scale F-18 Blue Angels and
IT WAS A HIT! We had flight simulators and was able
to sign up 9 families to AMA and our club. There was
a huge interest from the Southern Maryland ROTC as
well. I’m scheduled to do a talk and demo with their
group coming up as well.
Take care and be safe.

Hi Patty!
We had a great show for the Wings over Homestead

Lots of great photos were taken of the F-18 and many
people asked questions about the model.
The pilots especially enjoyed seeing it fly :)

flying!
