R/C club hosting 'Fun Fly'

Experienced hobbyists gathering for weekend of flying
YORKTON - The local radio-controlled flying club is readying to take to the skies for a ‘Fun Fly’. 

The club held fun days on a regular basis, but it has been nearly 20-years since the last event was held, explained organizer Cory Deslauriers. 

“I kind of took a break from the hobby for a while, and I was kind of the main instigator,” he explained. “We were going to do it last year but COVID hit. 

“So we figured it was time (to restart things).” 

Deslauriers said the day is a great way for people interested in the hobby to come out, see planes in the air and talk to experienced fliers. 

Locally, Deslauriers estimated there are six, or seven RC Flying hobbyists, but added the weekend event attracts fliers from all over, with hobbyists from Manitoba and Alberta. 

The event will run Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 25 and 26, at the Yorkton R/C Flying Club site south of Yorkton just west off Highway #10. Check the event poster on their Facebook page for exact directions.
