PMAC news. July 2017
1. I have posted the renewal forms away to AMAS. The registrar will be away for 2 weeks so it may be some time before we receive our new cards. Some members still have to pay their fees do I will send a second renewal form later.
2. The windy weather is definitely here so rug up well and bring your heavy models to fly for the next 3 months.
3. Louis and I went to the Canberra scale rally early in July. Cold and breezy but some really nice, large models and some good flying. The model that impressed us was a Piper Comanche twin about 2.4 m wingspan which was flown in a very scale fashion.
4. Coming events
a. Glider aero tow. 14,15,16 th October at NAAS field , Canberra
b. Mammoth scale rally. 24, 25, 26 th November at NAAS field, Canberra
c. Electric glider comp, 4 th December at Goulburn. (Swan Cup)
I hope to attend each of these and hope some members will enter the glider comp. it is an easy going type comp. depends on the weather
5. Grant Mannerwaring, Belconnen club, is trying to organize a non stressful electric glider comp, maybe later this year and early next year. One round at a Canberra club, one at Goulburn and one here in Cooma. He and a few other club members are intending to have a day wth us for general flying and discuss rules for the glider comp.
6. I am looking around for cheap pavers to go in the entry area of the clubhouse. It seems the water drains there and it remains wet. Will pull up the old carpet and lay crusher dust as a base for the pavers. We need 6 sq. m of pavers.
