    Now that the Cumberland Spring Soar For Fun is in it's final day, next event up in the east is the NE event in Salem, CT.

    The field is looking great, the tugs are ready. We're looking forward to welcoming another big crowd in 2012.

    We learned some great news this weekend in Cumberland. It was announced that the Highpoint Aviation Aerotow Team will be attending once again this year. Jim, Dave and Butch were a big hit 2 years ago at the New England Aerotow giving many Rc Pilots their first chance to try aerotowing. These guys bring foam sailplanes ( Ez Gliders) and allow any RC Pilot to give it a try behind their Telemaster 40 tow planes, so be sure to come on out and give it a try.
