The Mall Show
The Wausau RC Sportsmen Club 2008 Mall Show combined the typical Mall displays with the AMA TAG program. This provided prospective members a look at model aircraft building, the types of aircraft available, and an opportunity to learn to fly. The displays provided a detail look at plan building, kit, and ARF model building. In addition to the flight simulator on site, free coupons for a day of buddy box flying with the TAG aircraft were handed to prospective members. May 17th is TAG day for the club. Flying that day will focus on buddy box training for those that stopped by the Mall Show.
