Upcoming Maintenance
The club will be doing some field and road maintenance in the near future.
Rolling of the field is planned and the road will be given a couple of loads of gravel to fill in the holes and muddy spots. Some holes have been filled by Dave Cameron (thanks Dave).
Mowing of the field and pit area needs to be done about twice a week during the spring
growing season, so if you are comfortable with the mower please don’t hesitate to

the field in flying condition for several months and would like a well deserved break,

Chuck Bower, the AMA Associate VP for our district, and his wife Kathy were at our meeting on April 17th and gave a very informative presentation on the FAA regulation HR658 as it applies to model aviation. He also brought his Panther jet powered model and an old technology jet engine set up for a show and tell session. Very interesting stuff and a beautiful model. The detail, realism and cost all go up with jets. Chuck provided flyers for the upcoming Jets Over Whidbey event in August and encouraged us to attend. He said there are approximately 30 pilots that all bring at least one jet to fly at the event. It sounds like a must see for those of us in the area.
Thanks to Chuck for making the trip to our meeting and for the job he is doing with the AMA.
