By Erica Jones

This past weekend, doz
ens of spectators and model
aircraft pilots flocked to the
North Georgia Model
Aviators’ airstrip in
Dawson County to partici
pate in the club’s annual
Extreme Fun Fest Airshow.
The event lasted from
Friday Sept. 16 through
Sunday Sept. 18 and fea
tured some of the best
model aircraft pilots from
around the world flying
model aircraft of all shapes,
sizes and difficulty levels.
According to North
Georgia Model Aviators
(NGMA) President TJ
Klise, the turnout of both
pilots and spectators to this
year’s event was “fantas
tic”.
“It’s absolutely incredi
ble,” Klise said. “We’ve got
38 or 39 registered pilots
today, we’ve got the
Extreme Flight demo team
here so they’ll be doing
demos once we start serv
ing lunch and team demos
which will be great.”
The event was sponsored
by Extreme Flight RC and
Horizon Hobby, both of
whom contributed prizes to
the raffle that was held on
Saturday. According to
Extreme Flight RC
President Chris Hinson, he
and his team are excited to
have gotten to partner with
the NGMA group on the
event once again this year.
“They put on a couple
special events out here
every year to draw the pub
lic in and just get more
exposure for the hobby and
for the club, so we’ve been
fortunate to participate in
that and be a sponsor for it
for the past several years,”
Hinson said. “We get a
bunch of our team guys
from around Georgia,
sometimes from out of
state, and show off our
planes and what they’ll do
for the community.”
Hinson, who began fly
ing remote controlled air
craft when he was five
years old, said that he’s
always been interested in
the hobby.
“My dad was a naval avi
ator so I was around air
planes since I was bom and
just always had a passion
for it,” Hinson said.
This is Extreme Flight
RC’s 20th year in business,
and the goal of the hobby
shop is to share this love
and passion for remote
control planes with other
people, he said.
“This is our 20th year in
business, so we’re celebrat
ing, had a couple special
events and built a couple
special planes for it,”
Hinson said. “We manufac
ture radio control planes of
various sizes and various
styles, and have a lot of
them out here today.”
For those interested in
learning more about remote
control aircraft and getting
started in the hobby,
Hinson said that reaching
out to the North Georgia
Model Aviators is a great
start.
“The best thing you can
do is reach out to the club
here,” Hinson said. “We

have a really good system
to teach people how to fly
and they can fly on what’s
called a buddy box so
there’s a wire that goes
between two transmitters,
as long as the instructor is
holding a button down the
other guy can fly and if he
gets in trouble he just
releases the button so he
can take over; it saves a lot
of money and time.”
