New member refuses to
follow rules.
One of our newest members,
Mr. Al E. Gator, refused to
follow the rules and other
members politely asked him
to leave the field. When he
turned violent, he was
escorted out. If you see him
at the field, please stay
away and notify the
authorities..

Field Rule # 19
Changed - new rule reads:
No prolonged engine running
is permitted in the pits
area. Prolonged engine
run-up is only permitted
under the old pit shelters
(metal roof), but not under
the main shelter.
Clarification:
Prolonged means that if you
are going to be working on
your engine for more than
just a few minutes you
should move to the old pit
shelters, away from other
pilots. Please be courteous
to the other pilots around
you.

A reminder from the
Board of Directors
Guest fliers must be
pre-registered in order to
fly a our field. If you want
to bring a guest pilot to
the field, you must contact
one of the board members
(Bob, Butch, Chris or Vicar)
and make sure that your
guest is registered. Failure
to do so will result in a
field rules violation and
could jeopardize your
membership. As always, your
guest MUST be AMA members
and you MUST be present
while they are flying.

New Field Rules
APPROVED
The members present at the
January 2010 meeting
unanimously approved the new
field rules. Please take
time to familiarize yourself
with the changes.
Click here to see the
NEW field rules |

Special
message from the President:
There will be no flying of
model aircraft while the
runways are being mowed.
When you see the mower on
the runway, all flying is to
stop. The person doing the
mowing should not have to
ask any pilot to stop flying
in order to mow. The mowing
personnel have been
instructed to fill out
grievance forms against any
person who does not
cooperate. I will not have
members who have volunteered
their time to help maintain
our facilities getting hurt
because of the stupidity of
another member. |
