The Pegasus First Annual Flight for Cancer was held on Saturday, June 18, 2011.  The club was raising money for Hagerstown, Maryland's John Marsh Cancer Center's Patient Assistance Fund.  The day long event featured 20 registered pilots flying an awesome spectrum of R/C aircraft from jets to 42% Extras, large scale ships to micros and helis.  We also had simulators set up for the spectators and 11 were brave enough to step up and get on the buddy box.  Pilots came as far away as Herndon, VA and Berkeley Springs, WV to participate.  The event raised a total of $4,425 for the charity.  Click here to see the pictures.

My sincere thanks to everyone who helped pull this event together!

The Pegasus Solar Powered DC power system is up and operational so members will be able to charge their batteries at the field without draining their car batteries. Here are some pictures taken during the trenching and conduit work to run power to the individual charge stations. Thanks to Andy for the design and all the work and supplies he has provided, Paul for the use of the Ditch Witch and various supplies, and Hoot for the labor helping with the trenching..
