History Of The NEDS
To Read the full article please click on the link to our History!
NEDS was formed in 1952. The "North East Drone Society" or "New England Drone Society" was named by Ray Hamil. The Founding Fathers were Ray Hamil, Larry Shaw, Paul Lambert, Howard Ogushwitz, and Walter Bub. It started as a free flight, control line, gas and rubber powered group and slowly went to radio control. NEDS became an incorporated, non-profit organization around 1967 (one of our members was a lawyer). One of our bi-laws stipulates that to be a member, or to fly with our club, one must be a member of the AMA, which provides each member with liability insurance and has strict rules of safety. We flew our model airplanes wherever we could do it legally and safely. --------------------
The June Meeting will be held on June 7, 2012 at the Coventry Flying Field! We are out side again for the year, woo hoo! Meeting starts at 7:00pm, please come early and get a flight or two in before the meeting starts! More information about the location can be found in the contact us page.
--------------------
We have a few events that happen before our next meeting, please take a look at the calendar to view the up-coming events. And for those who like to travel, there is a Jet Event in Canada on June 1-3. Otherwise, we will see you at the NEDS Float Fly on June 3 at Mansfield Float Fly Area.
