Newly retired or a new resident to Sun
City Texas? Looking for a fun hobby that
you never had time to pursue? We build
them and we run them: airplanes, sail-
boats, helicopters, powerboats, cars, and
off-roaders. Come and learn how to do it
with a group just like you―we have lots
of members, men and women, new to the
hobby along with some seasoned hobbyists
who will show you how. We’re just over two
years old and we’ve grown to more than
140 members. We even have a computer-
controlled Flight Simulator if you don’t
want to do the “live stuff.” We “fly it” at
the weekly meetings. We also fly heli’s
and small airplanes in the ballroom one
Sunday a month and do other “fun stuff”
at Berry Pond and our off-site flying place
for the gas and large airplanes.
April schedule:
Ballroom – April 6,
10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., fixed winged
aircraft; 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., rotor
craft; 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., cars/off road
vehicles; and Boating at Berry Creek Pond
on Sunday, April 27, 1 p.m. Oh yes, infor-
mal sailing every Tuesday and Saturday
at 10 a.m. at Berry Creek Pond.
We fly small electric airplanes on the golf
course driving ranges onMondays when a
course is closed for play. We also fly every
evening at the Cowan Creek driving range
after the Golf Shop is closed. We need
light wind conditions to fly so our flying
usually takes place in the early mornings
or evenings. If you see us out flying, stop
by and say hello.
