Last Updated on Tuesday, 04 May 2010 16:10 Written by Tom Callahan Tuesday, 04 May 2010 11:23

May is a very busy month for the PVMAC. We've already mentioned the 3D Full Deflection & Free Style Event on May 21st and May 22. The following week, we have the first of 2 RC Swap Meets. The Swap meet is being held on Saturday, May 29th, starting at 7:00am until the last PVMAC member leaves. Admission is free to all buyers and sellers, but commercial vendors and hobby shops will not be permitted. The pit area will be open for Fliers and if you plan on selling only and not flying, were asking that you please park in the second row, near the storage area, so we can keep the pit area open for flying.
