​THE KIDS FROM SEDONA GATHER FOR A DAY AT CAM to explore RC flying as part of Verde Valley Sci-Tech week 
The program was organized by Joe Bongiorno and his son .  Joe explained the fundamentals to the kids and then Giuseppe flew several demo flights with different models.  He carefully explained the controls of the transmitter as he encouraged them to observe his hand movements. Afterwards he allowed several kids the controls of the aircraft while in flight.
THE EVENT PROVED TO BE A GREAT WAY TO INTRODUCE YOUNG PEOPLE TO THE FUN OF RC AVIATION (and science).

 May Fly this year was held with mostly high wind conditions. We had 21 registered pilots; 25 CAM members attended.  We also had 4 out of town pilots. 14 CAM member volunteers.  Big thanks to the volunteers and pilots who entertained us.
 
This year we had a story and photos about the event in the newspapers of Sedona, Cottonwood and Camp Verde.  Inquiries with the people who came to see the event indicated that at least 10 of them said that they had heard about it from the newspaper stories. One new adult member joined CAM and 2 became associate members. 
 
John Potts was again chasing aircraft around the field to create really great videos. Check out Bear Videos on YouTube.   Ray Scott won the top raffle prize.  The food was good and the opportunity to meet new people and enjoy good conversation was wonderful.  The Potluck drew 17 participants. The board is looking into ways to improve May Fly and the club for the future.
