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.

   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      Bill

   The next meeting of the MMRCC is scheduled for July 4, 2002 at 7:00 P.M. The meeting will be held at the TRW facility (Highway 90 Bypass). Personnel are required to sign-in and sign out for security purposes.

   We can fly at Libby Field on July 6 and July 27. Any non-internet users contact me or club officers and we can relay all pertinent ground rules that must be followed or we can lose this privilege.

   Pete has a number of model related videos that can be checked out.

   Any questions, comments, or information you would like me to include, please contact me.  I would like any information by the 15th of the month for insertion in the newsletter.
   See you at the field.

Will
