WRAMS Wrapup
Saturday, February 21, was a great day to take a bus trip to the WRAM show. The weather was such that none of the participants could feel that they missed a good flying day. So why not enjoy the hobby indoors – checking out all the new kits and equipment; maybe purchasing an item or two; and talking building and flying with friends both old and new.
Thirty people made the trip on the Club bus this year and two others with reservations were unable to attend. Despite a last-minute bus substitution by the bus company that resulted in not having video capability, reports of the overall trip were positive. A few vendors from last year did not set up exhibits this year, so the isles were wider and it was easier to navigate the show floor.
We’ll look for some new models to take to the air at Lums Pond in the near future!
