To the best knowledge from the attending members, there were no issues that came to mind. SAFETY: Sterling presented a new list of field rules which incorporated the new rule of “No spinning props under the sunshade”. It was distributed to the members for review. Sterling made a motion and was seconded by Toni for them to be set as the club’s new field rules. The vote was unanimously in favor. The 2015 AMA rules as well as the new club rules will be posted at the field. A new graphic depicting the field markings will also be uploaded to the website. OLD BUSINESS: Joe Lippo was not present and not able to give a report with Sterling on the new category that they have been working on. Steve Braxton tabled the topic in an earlier meeting and it still stands. A report will be given when they are both present. Some Useful links: www.headsuphobby.com www.towerhobbies.com NEW BUSINESS: Members were reminded again that the final suspense for the club dues is last day in February. Members were also reminded to renew their AMA membership. Toni asked when the members voted on changing the meeting from 0900 to 1000. He thought maybe he missed that day. A proposal to change it back was put out on the floor. Bob made a motion to move it back to 0900, but it didn’t receive a second. The motion failed and the meetings remain at 1000. www.gravesrc.com www.chiefaircraft.com/radio-contol www.hobbyking.com The newest addition to the field, 80 feet of shade!!
