Monthly Club Fun Fly and Other Events
Regular club flying events are held at Pratt's Wayne Woods in Wayne and at the White Pines Golf Dome in Bensenville. Club events at Pratt's Wayne Woods are open to the general public, but for spectating only. Visit the DuPage Forest Preserve District and White Pines Golf Club web sites for more detailed information about these venues.
Note that there are some specific rules that apply to flying at the White Pines Golf Dome. Please familiarize yourself with these rules before coming out.
Just For Fun Contests
Our Fun Fly events occasionally have a silly contest of some type. Here are some examples of the contests we've had recently:
| Balloon Break | Various sized balloons are anchored to the floor or allowed to float freely with neutral bouancy weighting. The object is to break the balloons with your propellor or wing. |
| Streamer Combat | All participants have streamers attached to their aircraft. The goal is to cut the streamers off of the other folks' planes with your prop or wing. |
| Carrier Landing | Pilots try to land their plane on a carrier deck. |
| Limbo | Just like at the beach bar, you want to get your plane as low as it can go without touching the ground. The bar is lowered until only one plane remains! |
| Bomb Drop | Participants try to drop a washer with a streamer attached on top of a moving (R/C, of course) aircraft carrier. |
Additionally, we always have a door prize drawing at Fun Fly events. Everybody goes home with something!
