Leatherstocking R/C Buzzards
Gilbertsville, New York, USA

The Leatherstocking R/C Buzzards was formed in 2003 by Al Kanser.  The Leatherstocking R/C Buzzards currently have over 28 members. Our mission is to create and foster a love for Radio Controlled Aircraft and Model Building.  Our home field is at the Polo Fields in Gilbertsville, NY and at the request of the owner is open to all AMA members.  With a 125 foot wide runway and 825 foot long carpet of grass there are regular pilot training classes as well as regular events. We think it's the finest flying field in Central NYS.  

The Leatherstocking R/C Buzzards once again hosted its annual fly in on July 18-20, 2008 with all proceeds being donated to Catskill Area Hospice.  The event was well attended despite the high fuel prices and the less than cooperating weather.  We were visited by fellow Buzzard and AMA President Dave Mathewson and his lovely wife.  Otsego County Court Judge Jill Ghaleb attended the event and spoke to many of the pilots and spectators.  Special Thanks to all of the sponsors, pilots and spectators who attended helping us donate much needed monies to the Catskill Area Hospice.  Gilbertsville-Mt. Upton School students once again supplied some delicious food and beverages to all who attended.
