Field Report: Ed Grabenstetter reported that antifreeze was added to the port-a-potty to prevent freezing of the
chemicals. It was noted that the tables will be moved under the shelter to protect them from the bad weather.
John Schell suggested that the frequency box be moved inside the shelter facility because the back of the box is
showing signs of water damage. It was also suggested that the a new back be attached to same that would be water proof.
An another suggestion was that there be a bulletin board installed to provide a club information source.
Old Business: Spot landing winner. A series of photos were passed around to the members present showing an
airplane (Flying King) belonging to Ted Csizek entangled in the safety netting at one of the pilot flying stations.
The photo also showed Ted looking very calm and sedate as he viewed his spot landing expertise.
Miscellaneous Business: Ken Moore offered a Tartin gas engine to anyone who wanted it. Bob Harrison said he
was interested and since he was the only voice heard, Bob took the engine home. The engine has been reworked by a man
in Florida to burn Methyl Alcohol and Caster Oil (8oz. of caster to 1 gallon of menthol Alcohol) Ken said it is a little difficult
to get started but once started it is a very good running engine. The engine has a Walbro carburator and requires a
15 to 16 inch prop.
