If you missed the Revelstoke RC Club’s Summer Fun Fly on Saturday you’ll have another chance to see radio-controlled airplanes and helicopters dance through the sky on Sunday, June 13.
The two-day event had brought together radio-controlled aircraft enthusiasts from far and wide. The aircraft come in all sizes and if you’re looking for something different to do with your children this weekend, a drive (or a bike ride) to the club’s runway 4.4 km south of the airport makes for a great family outing.
There are the aircraft, of course, raffles, draws and food from Scratch available on site. The aerial show begins at 10 am.
Here are a few photos from Saturday’s action:
