Club President's Feedback

All six of my volunteer team at Jefco Aeromod'lers RC Club, myself included, enjoyed working on the FMS Test Flight Experience. While the number of participants was lower than we expected or prepared for, we consider this a successful event because those who participated could fly several times and improved with each flight. We had lots of positive feedback from the participants, the volunteer instructors, our club members, and even the State Park Officials who thought this was a great program.
