Minutes of the Most Recent UCRCS Club Meeting

June 12, 2008 

UCRCS’s regular monthly Club meeting was held June 12th at the UCRCS flying field.   Special thanks go to Steven and Gary Lee for mowing the field this week.  There was some good flying at the field, and Del provided us with a great cold cut meal.   Holly has put pictures on the website for all to see.   The meeting was lead by President James Smith starting with a welcome to all attending, including guest Bob Sealey.

Thanks also go to Jim Casey for continuing to oversee the building of the scratch built plane, which several club members are in the process of building.  He continues to open his wonderful workshop, and to provide instructions to anyone wishing to work on this project.

Bob Metzger is still offering his facilities for a future project, so that club members can get together more often and enjoy the building process.  Come join the fun!

MINUTES / TREASURY REPORT:

Sec/Treas Maryann Smith announced the regular Club meeting minutes were posted on the Web-Site for Club Members to view.  A discussion ensued about the sign for the field, but all agreed that this information was presented as discussed.  With no revisions suggested, a motion was made, seconded, and approved to accept the minutes as posted.

Maryann Smith summarized the current expenses and resulting bank balances.

CLUB OPERATIONS:

Thanks go to Vice President, Steve Mullis, who has restocked the first aid kit for the field, which is a definite need, as we have several events coming up.

James S. reported that the sign for the field, about AMA requirements, was in the process of being completed.  Gene H. stated that he feels that we need to add a sign, requiring membership to UCRCS after 6 free visits.  It was agreed that we would get the new sign posted and then review the need.  Gene also feels that we may need to install a cable gate on the actual field again, if the main gate continues to be open.  No decision was made at this time.

Maryann S. reported that we have not yet received the bill for the “Potty” service, which has been done.  Hats for the club have been ordered, and will be here by the first of next week.  They will be on sale for $15.00 each.   We have now received the bill for our web site, which will be paid immediately.  Holly has paid the part for the name, and will be reimbursed.

Holly requested that anyone who takes pictures at the field, or of other events, send them to him to be put on the web.

Chris K., of Cookeville Raceway and Hobbies, reported that Nitro fuel costs are going up daily in the extreme, but that he will provide members with one gallon at the old price.  Bring your own jug for $2.00 off.  Quantities may be limited in the future, as they expect no more 15% until October.

Club Dues for 2008 – we continued discussions on Club dues, and members were to remind those who have not paid, to get their dues in.

Thanks again to G & L Hobbies, and Cookeville Raceway and Hobbies for their continued support.

The club has withdrawn from The Middle Tennessee RC Clubs Association, with no hard feelings, as they understand the hardship of distance for us.  We can still attend all events, however, which are listed on their website.

Chris K. suggested some money making ideas for the club, including a helicopter fly-in, which the Rotary Wing Club may be willing to share any expenses.  He called and arranged for free food to be provided by Golden Corral.  He also knows a T-shirt maker, who may be willing to come to the field.  A possible raffle was also discussed.  A tentative date is being discussed, and will hopefully be set by the next meeting date, possibly on 10-18-08, as we will be unable to have the farm-fly on that date.  Chris suggested at least a 2 day event with a $20 entry fee.  He already knows of several people who would be interested.  Steve M., Maryann S., Chris K, and Tony S. will work out the details to present to the club.

NOTE:  We are moving the August UCRCS regular monthly meeting to August 7th, due to the Giant Scale Fly-In being on August 9th.  Some last minute plans may be needed.  Please change the date on your calendars.

EVENTS PLANNING:

We reviewed our 2008 Events Calendar noting there are a number of events posted on our web-site to keep you informed.  The Middle Tenn RC Clubs Association’s web-site (www.mtrcca.org) also keeps you informed of regional events, well within driving distance.

Upcoming events planned for 2008 are:

Ø     Electric Fly-In --  6-21-08  Gene will be the CD.  We agreed that we will not have competitions for this fly-in, but will just have a good time flying.  Gene reported that he will have to go back and forth between here and the Soap Box Derby, as he is involved in both and they are on the same date.  Del will have Barbeque for our meal.   The Pilot fee of $8.00 will include the meal, with meals for others being $5.00.  Separate prices will be $3.00 for sandwiches, with $1.00 each for all extras.  Sunday will be the rain day.  Pilots will meet at 9:00 am. With flying to begin at 10:00 am.  Electrics will fly until 1:00 pm. with free flying after 1:00 pm.  Holly is making a flyer to send out.   Bob Conners is inviting a special guest flyer from the Crossville Club to de a demo on this date.

Ø     Giant Fly-In – 8-9-08    Bob Mackie will be the CD for this event, if his application is approved by that time.  Doug G. will contact Tony P. who has sound equipment.  Chris K. stated that he thought he still had back-up equipment at the store.   Note:  The regular monthly meeting is being moved up to 8-7-08 to accommodate this event.

Ø     Float Fly – 9-13-08 (Tentative) Possibilities are still being discussed.  It was decided that this will be a club only event, this first year.  Cane Creek is still a possibility.  James still needs to speak with Rick Woods.  Other locations were discussed, included locations at Gainesboro.

Ø     Farm Fly – 10-18-08   Note:  This date will have to be rescheduled as Bob M. has to be out of town.  He will get back with an alternate date.  The Helicopter event may be scheduled for this date.

Ø     Helicopter Fly-in – 10-18-08  Tentative date.  Details to be determined.

FIELD UPDATE:

There have been several projects underway at the field.

1)     The Club has replaced the strip off the canopy, replaced the rope on the flag pole, and  rebuilt the pilot stands.  Thanks to everyone who helped.

2)     James S. reported no changes since his last contact with the truckstop manager, Ron Craig, who indicated no plans to expand.  However, members should still be on the lookout for other possibilities for a field location, since this is a constant unknown about the development around the truckstop.

3)     Mowers are still needed for the schedule for this year.  Send your information to Holly and he will get you on the schedule.

ADJORNMENT:

The meeting was adjourned followed by an impromptu show & tell by Tony C. with his new wing.

May 8, 2008 

UCRCS’s regular monthly Club meeting was held May 8th at Doug Graves’ workplace, due to the rain that would not quit.  There was definitely no flying on this date!  Thanks Doug for the use of your facilities.   We didn’t get Del’s usual good cooking, but the pizza we ordered in was a good substitute.  There were 11 members in attendance.   

The meeting was lead by President James Smith starting with a welcome to all attending, in spite of the bad weather.  The “Yellow House,” Doug’s office, provided a great meeting environment.  Many thanks to Doug Graves for permitting our use of his facility. 

Thanks also go to Jim Casey for continuing to oversee the building of the scratch built plane, which several club members are in the process of building.  He continues to open his wonderful workshop, and to provide instructions to anyone wishing to work on this project. 

Bob Metzger has offered his facilities for a future project, so that club members can get together more often and enjoy the building process.  Come join the fun! 

MINUTES / TREASURY REPORT:

Sec/Treas Maryann Smith announced the regular Club meeting minutes were posted on the Web-Site for Club Members to view.  With no revisions suggested, a motion was made, seconded, and approved to accept the minutes as posted.                       

Maryann Smith summarized the current expenses and resulting bank balances.  

CLUB OPERATIONS:

James S. gave a report on the lawnmower repairs, which are now completed, and reported that the gas can is full for the next few mowings.  Thanks to Doug Ruffner for the last mowing. 

Maryann S. reported that the “Potty” is being serviced soon, and that hats for the club have been ordered, but will not be here until after “Joe Noll,” due to their schedule there.  We will not have them until after the fly-in, but they should be here sometime next month. 

Holly requested that anyone who takes pictures at the field, or of other events, send them to him to be put on the web. 

Club Dues for 2008 – we continued discussions on Club dues, and members were to remind those who have not paid, to get their dues in. 

Gene H. reported that there were several unauthorized individuals flying at the field, when no club member was present.  It was agreed that we will check on getting a sign to put up at the field, stating that AMA membership is required to be able to fly there, with visitors welcome, but with membership in UCRCS encouraged.  James S. will check on the costs of getting this sign made. 

We approved $30 to each hobby shop for prizes for the upcoming Field Fly-In.  They will determine what they want to provide for that amount, which will be picked up before the event.    Thanks again to G & L Hobbies, and Cookeville Raceway and Hobbies for their continued support. 

Bob M. states that he is considering installing a fabric field at the family farm, with possible monthly fly-ins there. 

We paid the entry fee for the Soap Box Derby, which was voted on last year, and Gene H. will arrange for our entry.  We need a driver, with age and weight limits, so any club member having kids interested, please contact the club or Gene H.  Otherwise, there is apparently a list of children wanting to drive, who will be picked from.  We want to continue support of this event, as it has gained up some publicity last year, in that our car was featured in the local paper picture. 

The club agreed to withdraw from The Middle Tennessee RC Clubs Association, as the location and distance is making it difficult for members to attend, which is a requirements to remain in the club.  Jim C. has been attending and agreed to notify the club.  We can still attend all events, however, which are listed on their website. 

EVENTS PLANNING: 

We reviewed our 2008 Events Calendar noting there are a number of events posted on our web-site to keep you informed.  The Middle Tenn RC Clubs Association’s web-site (www.mtrcca.org) also keeps you informed of regional events, well within driving distance. 

Upcoming events planned for 2008 are:

Ø     Fun Fly 5-24-08.  Gene H. will have some competition events scheduled, with prizes from both local hobby shops.  A possible balloon event was discussed.  Pilot’s meeting will be at 9:00 AM, with flying to begin at 10:00 AM.  Food will be provided, with Del in charge of food and with hamburgers and hot dogs being considered.  James S. will get drinks.  We will charge $8.00 for flyers, including a meal, and $5.00 for a full meal for others.  Items will be sold separately as well.  There will be no impound, but cards will be held; and if two individuals are on the same frequency, they will be introduced and allowed to fly one at a time.  The frequency board will be used. 

Ø     Electric Fly-In --  6-21-08

Ø     Giant Fly-In – 8-9-08 

Ø     Float Fly – 9-13-08 (Tentative) Possibilities are still being discussed.  It was decided that this will be a club only event, this first year.  Cane Creek is still a possibility.  James still needs to speak with Rick Woods.  Other locations were discussed, included locations at Gainesboro.

Ø     Farm Fly – 10-18-08   

FIELD UPDATE:

There are several projects underway or planned for improvements at the field.

1)     The Club has a scheduled workday for Satdurday May 10th to replace the strip off the canopy, replace the rope on the flag pole, and to rebuild the pilot stands, before the upcoming fly-in.

2)     James S. reported that his last contact with the truckstop manager, Ron Craig, indicated no plans to expand at present.  However, James S. brought up the prospect of members being on the lookout for other possibilities for a field location, since this is a constant unknown about the development around the truckstop.  Several properties were discussed.  Bob M. has checked with the airport, and it does not look like we will be able to have the giant scale fly-in there, nor is it a possibility for an alternate field location.  A committee may be appointed to research possible sites.

3)     Mowers are still needed for the schedule for this year.  Send your information to Holly and he will get you on the schedule.

ADJORNMENT:

The meeting was adjourned followed by show & tell.  Jim C. and Doug G. brought their new Scratch built planes, which several club members are in the process of building, for all to admire!   Nice job guys!

10-18-08:  A Fun Fly for UCRCS members is scheduled for the Mackie Farm. 

12-11-08:  UCRCS Banquet. 

Another Fun Fly is still being considered at the 111 Flea Market, but no date has been set. 

A possible combat event was discussed, with Gene H. checking on possibilities.  He will report back to the club.  Several members expressed interest. 

FIELD UPDATE: 

·        The field was reported to be in general good condition, but will need to be reseeded in some areas.   We still plan to work on the unfinished end of the field to extend our flying area.

·        It was noted that the field needs to be mowed regularly now.  Holly F. again requested that names be sent to him by email to put on the web-site mowing list for 2008.  Call Holly to get a substitute if you cannot mow on your scheduled date.  Everyone needs to sign up if possible.

·        James S. reported that the mower still needs some repairs and the deck belt replaced.  He will get with John Trobaugh to schedule the necessary repairs, which have already been approved.

·        James S. will take care of having the flag pole rope replaced.

·        The club agreed that contents in the field box are piling up.  All unnecessary items will be moved to the shed.

·        Del H. will check on the gas level for the grill prior to the fly in at the field.

·        James S. noted that we will not move the canopy, but that the wind damage to the canopy still needs to be repaired on our work day which has been rescheduled for 5-10-08, the Saturday after our next meeting.

·        James S. reported that the new FedEx building is well underway, but we have heard nothing more about how it might affect our field.  There is also the ongoing discussion about the truck stop expanding on the other end of the field, with no new news on that subject.  Members are still encouraged to suggest alternate flying sites for consideration.

·        Rebuilding the two damaged pilot stands is still scheduled for our work day.

·        NOTE:  Our field work day is rescheduled for 5-10-08.  James S. will get a spiker and seeds.  Buddy Q. will bring a spreader.  Jim C. will bring a mower for the rough end of the field, which we are trying to extend.  The rest of us are requested to “show up” to do whatever needs to be done. 

OLD BUSINESS: 

James S. announced that club members are still getting together and doing some “stick building.”   We are currently meeting at Jim Casey’s house at 6:30 PM on Monday nights.  Bob Metzger has offered his home for a later build.   Other locations and dates will be discussed at our following meetings.  This is a great way for club members to get together, other than our meetings, and learn new ideas and techniques.  Come join the fun even if you are not building.  See James S. for the plans. 

A “Club Trainer” is on the list for a later project, with Chris Kirovac of Cookeville Raceway and Hobbies volunteering to supply the wood necessary for the build.  Plans will need to be considered for this project. 

NEW BUSINESS: 

Doug G. mentioned that all the club hats have been sold.  A motion was made and  approved for Maryann S. to order a dozen to have on hand to sell. 

Gene H. mentioned that several individuals had been seen flying at the field, who were not members or with members.  We are currently unable to lock the gate again, due to the camper in the parking lot, so another fence may have to be erected at the entrance to the flying area.  No decision was made on this date, but will need to be addressed. 

Mention was made that the Port-A-Potty is close to being in need of servicing.  Maryann will arrange for services prior to our field fly. 

Greg Garrison, of G & L Hobbies, provided our “Show and Tell” for the meeting, demonstrating the fiberglass molds and molding process for his Cessna 310, which is his latest “build.”   It will be an awesome plane! 

James S. encouraged members to come to the field on Thursday afternoons to get together, have a good time, and fly, in addition to the weekends.  But of course, any day is a good day for flying! 

ADJORNMENT:

The meeting was adjourned.

February 14, 2008 

UCRCS’s regular monthly Club meeting was held February 14th in IWC’s Conf Room and was short and sweet, just like the Holiday.   Several arrived a little early to help with cooking & meal preparation, with all the efforts resulting in a great dinner!  Many thanks to Del Hef. for the great meal.  We missed you last month!  Attendance was low, due to the holiday, but President James Smith welcomed new member, Scott McQuiston, who was able to attend his first meeting.

The meeting was lead by President James Smith starting with a welcome to all attending, and thanks to Bob Mackie for the use of the facilities, even though he could not be present.    The IWC Conf Room continues to be a great meeting environment.   A sad note was recognized in the passing of Delton Dyal, who had shown an interest in flying and the Club, but who had not been able to participate due to health issues.  The Club continues to thank G & L Hobbies and Cookeville Raceway and Hobbies for their continued support. 

MINUTES / TREASURY REPORT:

Sec/Treas Maryann Smith announced the regular Club meeting minutes were posted on the Web-Site for Club Members to view.  With no revisions suggested, a motion was made, seconded, and approved to accept the minutes as posted.
