FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK

  Greetings and salutations to you all! 
  Well, it looks like the paving of the field has been put on the shelf indefinitely.  
  Last I heard due to budget restrains in the City of Sierra Vista, this might not get introduced even in the coming year.  
  I guess we’re going to have to look for alternate means to get it done or lobby the council harder (nicely now!) until we get an affirmative consensus. 
  How helpful are we to each other in helping one another advance in the RC hobby field? 
  I read with dismay a letter to the Editor of Model Aviation were members of a club, because of their advanced knowledge in the field of model airplane flying and their maturity in age, scoffed and ridiculed a younger member that was teaching some newly acquired members of their club.

    Now I’m rather new into the hobby and although mature, (39 and holding a few decades) I know for a fact that nobody in the hobby was born knowing everything about flying model aircraft. Somewhere in the process (unless you were a natural and able to teach yourself) there was some one, a mentor that loved the hobby so much that he/she wanted the hobby to advance in you, so he/she took you under his/her wing and helped you advance in the hobby.  
  Are there some of you out there that have gotten so good that now feel everybody else is inferior and they can't come off their pedestals to help advance those new in the hobby? 
  Let’s not allow this kind of attitude in our club.

Share your knowledge

  
  In the long run it will benefit you and most importantly it will benefit the Club. 
  By the way as soon as I receive some information on the 2001 Fathers Fun Fly, I will get the results posted. 
   I also must apologize for the lateness of the Newsletter but I’ve been so busy I’ve been meeting myself coming and going. 

Happy Flying!
