The Riverside RC Club is proud to sponsor the first annual Chuck Hartmann Memorial Pattern Contest April 14, 15 2012 at the Riverside RC Club. Chuck passed away suddenly Feb. 6, 2012. He was a fixture at the District 7 events. The Riverside RC Club voted to rename its annual spring pattern contest in honor of its long time member and friend, Chuck Hartmann.

Attached is the flier for the event. Please encourage anyone that has a inkling to try precision aerobatics to come out and give it a try. We opened Sportsman through Intermediate for any AMA legal airplane (except Turbines...). So, you don't need a pattern plane to compete. IMAC style planes OK in Sportsman and Intermediate classes. This is a great way to get your feet wet in precision aerobatics.


Club info is here: http://www.riversidercclub.org/ It has links to the maps and other club info. It's a great place to fly this time of year.

I'll run the event as the Assistant CD.

Come on out and have fun. Pilots meeting 9am, flying will start when the sun cooperates.

Sportsman, Intermediate, Advanced, Masters, and FAI. FAI will fly P13 (4 rounds, keeping best 3) and F13 (2 rounds, keeping best 1).

By the way,
A memorial mass for Chuck will be held Saturday March 17 at 10:00 a.m. at Our Lady Queen of Angels, 2046 Mar Vista Dr. Newport Beach, Ca 92660. A reception will follow at the church. His wife is anxious to meet Chuck's fellow flyers because they were such a big part of his life.
