Default RE: Senior PatternAssoc. -North East Chapter -Officially!

We still run one every August -hasn't been actually in Endicott for many years but close by in Sayre, Pa.

In 2005 our club (the Aeroguidance Society) celebrated our 50th anniversary as an RC club and hosted our 50th consecutive pattern contest! Dave Brown & Dave Mathewson were in attendance and there was nice write-up in Model Aviation.

We also host a VRCS event every labor day weekend at our club field near Endicott as well as a 10 race Q-500 racing series (424).

Modern pattern is no longer of interest to me and although I was an officer and competed in several VRCS meets those models are just a bit before my time and I personally found the 1970 cut-off date for models limited my appeal with VRCS. I'm happy to learn of an SPA chapter in the NE and may well break out plans and start work on an Atlas or similar. I have an old Dirty Birdy stashed away I could always fly this year
