RENEWAL TIME!!! AMA CHARTER 1040 GOLD LEADERSHIP CLUB Bradford s Briefing by Bradford Walters lmost Spring here in the Midwest. With the unusual warm A weather we have been having, a lot of members have been out flying and taking advantage of it. During the winter Lynne and I travel to 7 different swap meets looking for deals for Club prizes. We have been observing a decline in the hobby in regards to age groups and certain models. There aren t as many younger pilots and there has been a lack of vendors and attendees. With today s economy and the unemployment rate being what it is, and the market being flooded with electric foamies, the swap meets are being less attended. The marketing people at the hobby companies have made it so easy for anyone to fly a small coaxial heli or small park flyer at a huge savings compared to a 40 /60 size nitro model. With the park flyers you don t even need an AMA card. Each year a number of new pilots show up at our field looking to fly their foamies and are told they need an AMA card to fly. That is the Forest Preserve s rule. You can fly these things anywhere. Is that taking away from the AMA membership? Even though the AMA lobbies for the rights for model aviation, it seems to me we are losing membership support for the AMA. Getting into the hobby with a nitro model will cost about $400 for a good trainer. When you crash (and you will crash) it will cost another $200 or so to make repairs If you are out of work, you won t be able to afford that. Park flyers are under $100 and with a bottle of foam safe CA one can fly and crash all day, for the most part. I really believe we are seeing a major change in our hobby with the technology in batteries, EPP and EPO foam, carbon fiber products, and 3-axis gyros. Just my 2 cents worth. Don t forget, our first Fun Fly of the season is in April. It will be a Postal Run. Fly safely. See you at the field and the meetings.

5 March 2012 Volume 19 Issue 3 Page 5 Editor s Page By Lynne Walters THE ANSWER TO FEBRUARY S NAME THAT PLANE The name of the plane is the Douglas DT-2 World Cruiser. The planes were named Boston, Chicago, Seattle and New Orleans. The Chicago and New Orleans finished and were the first planes to circumnavigate the world. Larry Bochenko was the first person to guess it correctly and will get a free raffle ticket at the March meeting. Steve Haas also answered correctly. US Army Air Service set out to accomplish a first in aviation history. On April 4th, 4 aircraft from the same manufacturer and of the same type took off to achieve this world s first. Two of the original aircraft completed the task. What are the names of all 4 aircraft? What are the names of the 2 that finished and what did they accomplish? You must answer all parts of the questions correctly! MARCH S NAME THAT PLANE More than 1200 of these airplanes were built. This particular one was built in 1929, then rebuilt in 1930, with a more powerful engine and shorter speed wings. The owner of the plane contracted it out to a company that had nothing to do with airplanes products. In 1973, the said company purchased it for display at corporate headquarters. But the 40 year old seemed more at home in flight. Executives agreed to upgrade the navigational and communications equipment and return the aircraft to a national tour. It continued its appearances around the country until 2000, at which time all agreed that safety would be best served if the aging aircraft was retired. After 70 years of flying, it is now in the National Air and Space Museum. Send all responses to Bradford Walters at Bradford@thehoverzone.com.
6 March 2012 Volume 19 Issue 3 Page 6 Risk versus Consequences Safety Tips by Don Linder Crashing a plane at the field due to equipment failure or mishandling is usually the fault of the builder/flier. Consequently, the plane may be damaged or destroyed. We shouldn t think lightly of such crashes, because it is always possible that the consequence could be much worse. For example, hitting a fellow flier or a pedestrian on the path could be tragic. This rare, but extremely serious possibility should be contemplated after each and every incident that an aircraft is out of control, resulting in contact with something unintended. When we are lucky, we only damage our own planes. The consequence of repairing a crash or buying a new ARF should serve as a cheap lesson and encourage the modeler to improve his procedures before flying again. Many of the rules and procedures of the pit and flying field are intended to assure controlled flight and to minimize unintended contact between people and aircraft. We should mentally evaluate the likelihood of undesirable results every time we fill a fuel tank or connect a battery. For example: On a scale of 1 to 10 how likely is it that I will crash if the transmitter is on the wrong model? (Cost of repair typically $200.) On a scale of 1 to 1,000,000 how likely is it that a crash will result in bodily injury to some person? (Cost of pain and suffering typically $1,000,000+.) Winter Build Elvin Servellon s MXS-R ARF is finished.
