Flying Event 1-1-25
What better way to start the new year than to attend the Frozen Finger Fun Fly hosted by the High Sierra Radio Control Club at the Carson City Flying Field. The event started around 9:00 am on January 1st. The weather looked good with the temps in the 30’s and 40’s (sorry guys, no frozen fingers this year), sunny and light wind. Gary Fuller hosted this event and promised a great time for all. There was hot coffee and chocolate to keep you warm.
