This student flight training manual was created for the Tuscarora Radio Controlled Aircraft Flying Club, and written by Ed Pollack. It is a great example of a club that has assembled their knowledge to introduce beginners to R/C flight and safe operation!

Attention to ALL!!!

I am reaching out to you with a special request. As some of you may be aware, I have been flying model airplanes as a hobby for quite a while now and the model airplane club that I belong to, Hampshire County Radio Controllers, is losing our flying field in Hadley, MA. after 60+ years in existence at this location effective 12/31/23. We are fortunate to be able to lease 5 acres of property next door for 2 years with the plans to purchase it by 2026. I am part of a Go Fund Me fundraiser to achieve this goal. I am humbly requesting your financial assistance in donating to our cause. More details of our situation and goals can be obtained on the fundraiser page located at this link below

Hog Heaven Hobbies

Local Hobby Store going out of business

After 32 years owning Hog Heaven Hobbies I will retire and cease brick-and-mortar operations on 17 July 2025. To that end, we will have a Retirement / Store Closing  Sale between 24 May 2025 – 17 July 2025.
The sale will include only in-stock items. Obviously the earlier you shop, the better the selection will be. Prices on consignment items will not be reduced.
I will accept last-minute special orders as long as they will arrive at the store before 15 July 2025. These orders will be accepted if paid in advance and will sell at normal retail prices. Other than special-orders I will not replace or acquire any new merchandise.
The internet business will remain viable. Loyalty points will be usable until 17 July 2025. Gift certificates will be valid until 17 July 2025. If you have items on consignment at Hog Heaven, please retrieve them before 17 July. If you’ve sold consignment items and haven’t picked up your money, please do so before 17 July. Hog Heaven will be closed Memorial Day 26 May and Independence Day 4 July. Thank you for your support. It’s been an honor to support your endeavors and I hope we’ll see each other at the flying field.

Jean and John
