"Good friends and Great flying"
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 29 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 16-18, 2010 with all proceeds being donated
to Catskill Area Hospice. The event was well attended this year,
with some of our modelers traveling from as far away as Conneticut,
Vermont, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. 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.

Just a few weeks shy of his 87th birthday Les attended the event with
his son Alan, and showed that he still has what it takes to fly at a
giant scale event.
