TAILSPINNERS Volume 47 Issue 3 March 2002 Editor: Chris Branam
FLIGHT LOG FOR JANUARY MEETING QUORUM Mr. Secretary, do we have a quorum for a meeting? We need at least 12 of our 119 members? Yes with 28 members present. The meeting was called to order at 7:07 PM. SECRETARIES REPORT The minutes of the January meeting were read and are to be published on the Mile Hi RC Web site. Motion was made and seconded to accept the minutes of the January meeting. Motion carried. TREASURES REPORT GUESTS OR NEW MEMBERS Two guests were present and introduced. COMMITTEE REPORTS Membership Membership Chairman Larry Symons reported the membership stands at approximately 120. Publicity and Publications Committee Report John Corliss reported that the club bought three new flight simulators for $50 each, which are compatible with Windows ’95,’98, or ME. Additionally the club purchased the updated software for $50, for the Dave Brown simulator that Dave Teich donated at the January meeting. The Club budgeted $200 for flight simulators and for that we now have four flight simulators with controllers that may be checked out to club members at meetings. George Kerr reports that all of the flight simulators were checked out. John Corliss said that these simulators are very realistic and will not only help new flyers with their coordination, but intermediate flyers who will want to practice aerobatics. Contest Committee No report this month. Field Maintenance Committee Roy Olson reported that the 85 mile per hour winds we had tore the radio impound in half. We were lucky to have no damage to the picnic shelters or shed. Securing and bracing the picnic area roofs proved to be timely last fall. Cost of materials to repair the impound was estimated at $145. The expense was approved. (Thanks to Jim Rogers, Mike Wilson, Larry Symons, Robert Mueller, Bob Bergin and Roy Olson who repaired the impound the following Saturday)! Field Safety Committee No report this month other than to be careful and think.
NEW BUSINESS OLD BUSINESS 1. Bill Peters sent in to the AMA dates for the Pluckrose Memorial (June 1), the Dawn Patrol Giant Scale Invitational (July 20), and the Aeroworks/Mile-Hi fly-in (Sept. 14). We should get listed in the magazine. Prez Sez Notable quotes "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return." - Leonardo da Vinci "To most people, the sky is the limit. To those who love "Truly superior pilots are those who use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills." "The worst day of flying still beats the best day of real work."
