May 9th, 2015 - Students From Steven's Institute of Technology Visited BCMA
Today, students from Steven's Institute of Technology visited BCMA to get their entry for the 2015 SAE Aero Competition off the ground. HVFRC Club President Robert Koehler, veteran builder and flyer Bill Stevick, and Club Secretary Joe DeFalco were on hand to help the group.
Student groups from Stevens seek us out each year for feedback and as a test location for their aircraft design. Our members are always happy to help out.
