The History of the Pine Ridge R/C Electric Airplane Club
The Pine Ridge RC Electric Airplane Club was formed in
November of 2005. The three founding members of
the club, Phil Sciarroni, Bill Cronin and John Casdia
live in Pine Ridge Estates. They wanted to find a place
close to home where they could fly their electric radio
controlled airplanes. Phil Sciarroni located an
area in Pine Ridge that would be suitable for use as a
flying field. They formed the Pine Ridge RC Electric
Airplane Club, became the first club officers and, with
the assistance of the Pine Ridge Board and Maintenance
Dept., had a portion of the area mowed and a section
leveled for a model airplane landing strip.
Recycled tennis screening, provided by the Pine Ridge
Board, became the 8’ x 50’ landing strip. A notice in
the Pine Ridge Civic Association Newsletter advised the
community of the newly formed club seeking residents
interested in joining. |
