THE LATEST SALMON ARM British
Columbia Float Fly was well attended as
usual in spite of threatening weather. Many
storms headed our way, but for the most
part, went around us. We must have been
living right.
The first two pictures are Lea Shepard’s
Antic Bipe and his Fleet bipe.
As you can see from the photos, there
were many other very nice aircraft. The
fourth photo is a Spacewalker and two
scratch-built Protogés that have been
upsized and fly very well. Both have gas
engines.
This event draws almost as many of us
Yanks as Canadians. I warn all that this
event is habit-forming and I have made it
up here twice a year for many years. These
people are great hosts.
The Lewis-Clark Model Club of Lewiston,
Idaho, helped sponsor an International
Miniature Aerobatic Club (IMAC) event
June 12-13, 2010. Brandon Peterson CDed
the second annual fly-in. Seven pilots
attended.

meeting.
The club hopes to continue the event and
increase attendance. It was advertised in the
Lewiston Tribune and featured as a news
item on Lewiston’s KLEW TV. The awards
were custom made by Lynn Hendry.
