Members of the Casa Grande RC Flyers club board met with city officials last week to provide an annual update about the club’s activities, community service and field improvement plans.
Attending the meeting at City Hall were Casa Grande Mayor Craig McFarland, Deputy City Manager Steven Weaver, Recreation Superintendent Matthew Jankowski, Casa Grande RC Flyers President Alan Friedman and club Secretary Nancy Friedman.
The club officers shared plans the club had to install sun shades over the pilot tables and the placing of a 20-foot-by-8-foot metal storage unit on the club’s leased land. The storage unit will be used to store the club’s equipment, safety gear and other club items. The club also requested that the field lease be amended to allow model aircraft up to 20 pounds to be flown. The current limit is 10 pounds. The higher limit will allow for more types of aircraft including helicopters and drones to safely use the field, according to a club press release.
