There  is an interest in powered Model flight here. A fellow and his son were in Voght park on Sunday flying a gas-powered radio controlled plane. Looks like fun. He says he belongs to a club in Logan lake a small community about an hour away. His rig cost him about 500 dollars and has others. Club membership comes with liability insurance for licensed areas. A program called phoenix is an online simulator program to qualify you for radio control. He had crashes before using it. As did others. One thing in particular you need to master is that the control is actuated backward when the model is returning from the direction sent.

 It looks like fun and a hobby that must account for others like Paintball, which he is also credentialed in. Good luck and blue skies to the people in Merritt that will pursue this.

An 80 dollar insurance package and training is available to people that want to try it with out membership an unconfirmed sources says..
