I don't think the QSAA is still around. But I have been wrong before.

Dans' message was posted over seven years ago. I don't think QSAA exists anymore. They haven't had the QSAA fly-in for at least eight years.

Whoops .... Sorry .... I never did notice the date on it. I guess the guy from Thailand made the same mistake.

I have a few plaques from the QSAA's Fly-ins in Las vegas. He could just change the dates and pretend he was there. :)

RE: QSAA Fly-in Event Las Vegas Oct 9-12
 
What was unique about those plaques, was that you received one for just paying the registration fee. You were in essence, buying a plaque, which resulted in grossly inflating the price of registration. Which was kind of silly, and I believe helped to destroy the event.

It's a shame Vegas doesn't put on any Big Bird type events. A lot of the modelers wives enjoyed the QSAA events for the Vegas scene.

Hi - I'm the 'guy from Thailand' who posted about going to the QSAA again - my mistake - I was down with cancer for 3 years but OK now - I hope - and got my facts wrong. Yes, I do believe the QSAA closed shop about that time. Shame - because it was a great event run by very friendly people - a pity someone can't pick up the baton and get it running again. I really used to enjoy the QSAA event and then take in the Top Gun too - also the Lake Havasu Schneider event - all about the same time. MalcolmL Chiangmai Thailand.

Malcolml, are you also the man who flew a small Russian Polikarpov ( ? ) at the Bill Bennett field in field in Vegas ?

Hi Ed - sorry - no ! The Polikarpov was not mine - I had a Bristol F2B .
But I know the Polikarpov owner. Can I ask why you want to know
or can I pass a message to dr mike for you ?
Have we met there ?
MalcolmLogan - Cheers

Malcolm thanks, yes he was a doctor, and he was traveling with some monks I believe that he brought over. We had a very pleasant exchange, as I was very interested in his Polikarpov . We were near each other in the pit area. It was a small IMAA event at Bennett field, and I was flying my Brown B-2, Miss Los Angeles racer. Were you at the same event ?

Yes, I too miss the QSAA event !

The Las Vegas RC Club put on the first annual War Bird Fly-In this past April at Bennett Field. Hopefully there will be a second annual. It was a very good event. There is also a IMAA fly in the end of September at Bennett Field.

Hi Ed - I passed on your post on RCU to Dr Mike - I guess he'll respond to you directly ......

I'm very interested to learn that QSAA have started a warbirds event to be held at Bennett Field in October 2013. Can you please direct me to any more info about the event AND the revitalised QSAA please that I can contact .... I doubt if I would be able to go this year but it would be great to keep in touch with what they're doing.
In answer to your question - no - I was not at the event where you met Mike. Did you know that he and I won the aerotow event - in 1997 (?) I think - he built a DFS German troop glider and I did the aerotow - and introduced and encouraged him to learn aerotowing - probably with a 'Flyin' King' or a ..... hard to remember ..... long time ago ...... I still have a trophy in my workshop ..... and he left the glider with me to sell which I did to a pal in the Bay area. Memories ..... !!! Mike can tell you more about the DFS if you're interested ....... Malcolm

I think it was the LVRC (Las Vegas Radio Control) club that held the event, not the QSAA. But the LVRC is a great bunch of flyers too. Here is a blast from the past.:)
