Boots' Flying Wing

...if you’ve never flown in a combat contest, your missing out. It’s a lot of fun!

It doesn’t cost much to get involved and greatly improves your flying skills.

Basic requirements. A qualified airplane (see Corky on specifics). Chances are Boots or Valley will make you a foam wing (very cheap).

Flying skills?  If you can land and take-off, then you have what it takes to get involved.

Combat flying will help you improve your flying. It will help you learn how to put the airplane exactly where you want it.  It also helps you become more aware of where other aircraft are in the air, without loosing sight of your plane. Both great skills to have when you're not flying combat and just burning holes in the sky on a Sunday morning.

During the summer, the combat pilots fly once a month. A winning certificate is awarded to the winner of each combat session and an award given out for the overall points winner of the year.

Interested? Now is the time to get ready by getting a plane (or two) ready to fly for combat.  See Sam, Corky, or Boots for more information about flying combat.

Corky:     (360) 871-8151

Sam:         (360) 697-4887
