Cub Nuts

I attended one other occasion yesterday. The Molalla R/C affiliation Cub Nuts. It is a Fly In occasion for Piper Cub and Cub “ Kind “ airplanes. The occasion itself gives a lot of open flying with a number of enjoyable aggressive occasions similar to spot touchdown, limbo and timed “ What number of contact and goes “. After 4:00 on Saturday it’s open flying for all sorts of plane and 5:00 dinner from Smelly Pete’s BBQ. Pete Trailered in his smoker the day earlier than and began smoking ribs at 8:00 am. At this time the occasion continues with an enormous raffle ( most from donations of membership members ) at 2:00.

Purpose I’m placing this right here and never within the Occasions discussion board is that I believe these occasions considerably illustrate the well being of the passion a an entire. I’ve mentioned many occasions that I agree that the passion as an entire has been on a gentle decline however I’m rethinking that mindset. No less than in my area, these occasions have been very nicely attended, even throughout a time when the financial system is poor. A sign that the passion isn’t on as steep of a decline as a few of us suppose? The expertise over the previous decade does assist smaller fashions that don’t want an precise flying area ( though that has its points ). So one thing we have to take into account, is the decline in AMA income/membership an correct indication of the general well being of the passion? I’m not saying that the passion isn’t on a decline general however merely suggesting the decline isn’t as steep as we might imagine. So on to some footage of yesterday from Cub Nuts.
