Here is a brief summary of the meeting minutes for the April club meeting.
Club President Mark Hoverson called the meeting to order at 7:00pm.
The Treasurer reported that we have 3618.78 in the bank.
We have word that the lease costs for the Sanders Field will go up this year, but do not have a new number yet.
The next meeting will likely be at the Sanders Field, on May 16th. We will make the call the Monday before, based on the weather forecasts. Check your email before Wednesday the 13th. Remember that access is through the Casino now.
In old business we picked up the topic of the roller, and agreed that the club decided last year to proceed with purchasing it. That will be pushed forward again now.
Four of us had a great time out at the glider park on March 28th. Several of us only got one flight in, but that was because that single flight was nearly an hour long!
For Show-N-Tell Pat brought his kit-bashed plane in. It started with an Uproar 60 that he got from Tony. He decided to get a second one, and build a P-38 inspired dual Uproar 60 he is calling the "Twin Tony". It is powered by a pair of Evolution 0.61's swinging APC 13x4 props. It spans 95 3/4", is 52.5" long, and weighs in at 14 lbs. With a 10+ sq. foot wing area, it is loaded at 21.1 oz/sq foot. Congrats to Pat for a truly one-of-a-kind plane.
Hope to see you at the next meeting!
Russ, Secretary and Webmaster. |

Folks:
Here is a short email sent from a fellow flyer who lives in the southern part of the state. His wife is a native, and he comes up to visit from time to time. They discovered the glider park, and he took some unique pictures of the area. Look at his link, and check out some of his other pictures.

Hello Ross,
Thanks again for the tips on flying at overlook park. I flew there twice when I was back for Thanksgiving and had a great time. What a beautiful place to fly! The only trouble I had was related to my camera but I managed to get a few good pictures. You can check them out at:

By 2:00pm on Saturday June 2, 2007 the club realized a long-held dream and looked out on a 43' x 500' surfaced runway, pit area, on-ramps, and a brand new control line circle.
