Central Iowa Aeromodelers Multi-Engine Fun-Fly radio controlled airplane mid west multi fly event

Last year, I found out about the Mid West Multi-Fly about a week too late to join in the fun. I made a point then and there not to miss it this year! The Multi-Engine Fun-Fly event was started in 2004 by Rick Simmons of Omaha, but due to some conflicts, it has been moved to the Central Iowa Aeromodelers field just outside of Ames, Iowa. This is the only multi-engine event in the plains states that I know of, and they had a very good turnout of pilots with a variety of exceptional airplanes.

The event was held on Saturday, September 6th 2008. I arrived at about 9am and there was a good amount of people there already. CD Mark Taylor greeted me and introduced me to several of the C.I.A. members. To say this is only the second year that they have sponsored the event, it was very well organized. The early birds were treated to free coffee and donuts and there was plenty of food going all day long - And I might add that the price of the food was more than affordable! It was nice to pay $1 for a burger for a change instead of the usual $4.50 or more! It was plain to see that the purpose of the event was to welcome pilots to a fun day of flying and not just a means of fund-raising.
