FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK
Greetings and salutations to you
all!
You know I can’t figure out where
time goes so fast. I’ve been wanting to stop and smell the roses, but lately
when I get there, they’re wilted and falling off the bush. Here it is June
and I have gotten very, very little flying time at the field or anywhere.
Today I received a wonderful E-mail
from David Jenkins announcing the Father’s Day Fun Fly. Sounds like it’s
going to be fun. If it’s anything like last years event it’s going to be
a great event! Bill Hermes as CD always puts on a good show. I’ve
got to make time for this one!
Well, I contacted Our Faithful President
for his input for this Month’s Newsletter but he must be as busy as a bee
like me, for I haven’t received anything from him. I understand Al; It
gets mighty hectic out there sometimes.
By the way folk’s, don’t forget
that this IS your Newsletter. If you have any input that you want printed
send it to me via e-mail and I will post it for you.
The paving of the runway is still
up in the air. The latest information I received was that talks were going
on with the mayor and council of Sierra Vista. Will keep you posted
as information trickles in.
A big THANK YOU goes out to
Tom Fenn III for his great efforts at restoring the runway after vandals
drove their automobiles onto it and decided to use it for a raceway. |
CLIMB AND GLIDE
EVENT
Dave Jenkins
reported that the Climb and Glide Event was a great success.
Don Mulligan
was the Contest Director. Bill Hermes called the shots and Pete Haring
was the time keeper/ recorder. There were six participants; David Jenkins,
Tom Fenn Jr., Will Herman, Al Tomlinson, Richard Hotchkiss and Jerry Mingo.
Tom Fenn Jr.
was the winner of the contest. Will Herman was second and Al Tomlinson
came in third. Great Event! Congratulations to All!!
FOR YOUR INFO
Clubs with restricted
memberships will have to reconsider their Limits.
It is reported
that park flyers are selling like wildfire. A 4 to 1 ratio compared to
“regular” model airplanes. Folks, it doesn’t look like “Park Flyers” are
going away in the near future. They are even talking of selling these
kits in places such as Radio Shack, Wal-Mart, etc. A lot of clubs are complaining
about radio interference. Perhaps it would be wise to incorporate these
flyers into the “regular” model airplane community. Think of it; more members
for the club. A chance to teach these new members “regular” model technology
and have them at the field where the radio interference problem can be
controlled.
Happy Flying!
