The Scale Squadron of Southern California had an outstanding event last weekend. They held the first annual Jerry Ortega Scale Fly-In.
Jerry was a founding member of the Squadron and his recent passing prompted the event to be named in his honor.
The Scale Squadron are the founders of the U.S. Scale Masters. You have to go to their website and click on, "about us" to read an account of the first Scale Masters in 1980.
As you read the article from the April 1981 issue of Scale R/C Modeler it is like taking a trip back in time. There were some well known names involved in the event.
The club itself was founded in the early 1970's and called historic Mile Square Park home.
There were over 100 pilots and many more aircraft in attendance. The event was held at the Pomona Valley Model Airplane Club's field at Prado Dam in Chino. The facility is top notch and only added to everyone's enjoyment.
I think the event was a great success and earned perfect static and flying scores.
I'm doing my very best to get all around our District to meet modelers and let them ask me questions and get to know me so they can make an informed choice when they vote. If you have an event you would like me to attend please let me know
