4-H Day of Flying (a parent/guardian and youth 4-H program)

For: ages 10 and up with a parent or guardian, youth 12 and older may attend on their own if desired

Join us for a day of flying where each youth and parent/guardian will build their own balsa and tissue rubber band powered airplane.  Participants should have a little bit of patience, and some basic crafting or tinkering skills such as measuring, cutting and gluing.  There will be limited exposure to hobby knives and technical adhesives. The day will end with a flight session and some friendly competition.

Lunch: Bring your own lunch. There will be breaks for lunch during the day, to fly some model planes and see a demonstration of more advanced planes.

4-H Flight Path is an aviation program that seeks to engage families in learning about model aircraft and free flight, or no outside control of aircraft. From learning to build simple model airplanes to ultimately making complex models and competing in regional competitions to achieve a maximum time aloft, 4-H Flight Path teaches technical building skills and helps youth develop an understanding of the science of flight.
