Ernie also informed the club members that in August 2006, the club will have been flying off this field for 10 years.
August of 2006 will also be the renewal date of our contract for this field.
New Business:
Safety Officer Ed Grabenstetter, addressed the members with some food for thought concerning what
one should do to avoid accidents at the field.
1. use tie downs or some method of restraining your plane when starting your engines.
2.
When entering the flying field from the flight line a running engine is allowed, but upon completing your flying, the engine
must be stopped before entering the flight line area to allow the plane to carried out of that area.
Frequency
Pin box:
Many thanks go to Ernie Zam, Ted Csizek and John Goetz for the building and installing of the new
frequency pin Box. Now when the flyer goes to fly, he selects the pin that is the same as his radio frequency and attaches
it to the radio antenna. The pilots are reminded to return the pin before they pickup and leave the flying site.
Stolen
Equipment:
Ed Grabenstetter informed the member that someone has stolen the field aerator the cable and the
lock.
Signs:
It was brought to the attention of the members, that at the old field we had signs posted informing
those driving by that there was low flying aircraft. To the best of anyones knowledge the signs were stolen by parties
unknown. It was beleived that the county provided the signs. President Zam said that he would look into getting
new signs.
Web Site:
Max Needles asked that the members contribute info, pictures and anything else to create an update
and interesting web site.
