| Reminder: Please get any information you want in an upcoming Monitor to Ken by the 15th of the month.
Our fall, winter and early spring meetings, through May, are held at the fixed-based operator (FBO) building at Mettetal Airport. Canton-Plymouth Mettetal Airport is a public use airport located in Canton Township, Michigan, United States, near Plymouth, MI. The airport lies two nautical miles south of the central business district of Plymouth, in Wayne County. The airport is owned and operated by the Michigan Department of Transportation.
Please check your email and the club Website, as the tentative date approaches, for possible last minute changes. The FBO is the white building that is located closer to the runway than the EAA building. The November 2025 Meeting While the discussion about the upcoming Sunday, November 2nd Swap Shop, in Northville, was discussed later in the meeting, this reminder was put here! This is an all hands-on-deck event! Please plan on helping with the set up at 6:45 a.m., and even more IMPORTANT, the tear down at noon!!! Greg Eilers stared the meeting with an around the room introduction of the members as there were three new members joining us this evening. The total membership at the meeting was 14, which was quite a turnout. Greg then called on Rudi Reinhard, Swap Shop Chairman. Rudi noted that all of the wall tables were sold already and the other table sales are about on par with previous years. There was a big round of applause for Rudi for taking on this task for many, many, many years! Greg reminded everyone that next month's meeting is AFTER the Swap Shop. Greg reminded us that the election of officers takes place at the November meeting. ALL of the current offices have agreed to run again for 2026. Greg Eilers - president
Nominations continue at the November meeting before the election. Remember, if you are interested in any position, please just nominate yourself! Dave Stacer brought up using weed killer on the flying field. A motion was made, and passed, that weed killer would again be applied to the same areas as this year. Greg talked about the winter club build and tried to take note of how many folks will be participating. Greg has sent emails to all club members regarding the build planes and their components. He also discussed whether we wanted to do a club order or have each person order their own kits and parts. Some folks did want to do a club order and they were noted. To get more room in one of our storage sheds, there was discussion about donating our old grill to the Milan, MRCA club. It was decided to attempt to do that. Greg also noted that there is the high possibility to have our January and February 2026 meetings over Zoom so that no one has to drive in poor driving conditions to get to Plymouth. Here are a few photos from the well attended meeting.
