The Prez Sez
Ladies and Gents,
Another Father’s Day
Fun Fly is behind us. For those that were there and participated,
“Thank You” – without you, it would not happen. A special thanks to Jerry
Mingo for getting the field set up and helping with the judging, and to
Pete Haring, for the set up and the judging. A complete essay of the happenings
is posted on the web site.
I want to continue with
some of the basics of safety from the web site of our friends at RJL.
Extreme care must be
taken to protect your face, hands and body from the plane of the propeller.
Don't start your engine on loose dirt, sand or gravel. A thrown blade or
foreign objects drawn into the propeller could cause serious injury. NEVER
LEAN OVER THE PROPELLER and wear eye protection when starting and running
your engine.

Keep all loose articles (pencils, eyeglasses, etc.) out of shirt pockets,
as they may fall out while adjusting your engine. Long hair, neck ties,
loose shirt sleeves and clothing, etc. must be kept away from the prop.
Never operate any model
aircraft near overhead electric or telephone lines. If your plane should
get away from you and become caught in overhead lines, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
RETRIEVE IT! Call the telephone or electric company and they will be happy
to retrieve it for you.
Use a muffler and fly
in designated areas. Be considerate to others YOUR ENGINE IS NOT A TOY!
It is a precision piece of machinery and must be treated as such.
If you are in
doubt about anything, asking your hobby dealer or an experienced modeler
for assistance may be helpful. You might want to call the manufacturer
or service center.
FLY SAFE
