The year 2010 is going to be a challenging year for the club with finalizing the move to the new airfield site. I am looking forward to completing this project and the challenges it will entail and also to continue in the role as the President of the Air Masters.
Ed Christian – I have been active in R/C flying since 2004. First I would like to thank all of the Air Masters R/C Club members for electing me Vice-President for 2009. It was a very busy year. There were a lot of things accomplished last year and a few of these projects are not completed yet. I really would like to continue as Vice-President to finish the started projects. Also I would like to be part of the future vision of the Air Masters R/C club. I believe in taking the members ideas and suggestions and making them a reality.
