MAR/C Field Support Needed

Submitted by jack.fiscus on Wed, 01/18/2012 - 8:56am

We have a new year ahead of us, and we need people to provide some effort to keep our flying field in good condition. Your Board has examined alternatives such as hiring someone to maintain the field (not permitted by Park union rules) or having the Park do it (their mowing equipment is incompatible with our needs and they cannot use ours) so it looks like it is up to us.

A recent injury that occurred at the field highlights the need to observe specific safety precautions when flying electrics.  The flyer was attempting to disconnect the motor battery when he accidently bumped the throttle stick on the transmitter.  The motor started and the prop cut his hand and arm.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE, NOVEMBER 2011, OVER FLYING THE FIELD BOUNDARIES

Submitted by jack.fiscus on Mon, 11/21/2011 - 1:12pm

You are probably as tired of hearing about this subject as I am writing to you about it. However, we are once again receiving complaints of over flights of the condominiums to the East of the field. By this,  I mean the actual flight of model airplanes over the residence area. This means that the East Lake Sammamish Parkway is being over flown, as well. The impact of an R/C model incident in these locations would be catastrophic. We are continually made aware of the closure of fields in the areas surrounding Seattle. We are not immune to similar action.
