[AlaskaRC] ARCS Field

[Armand Marshall]

I just want to start the 'discussion' about a new unrestricted field for
ARCS. I am referring to a field with no altitude restrictions or noise
issues.  One that we can fly all of our various types of aircrafts and hold
events.  Last year that field was Wayne's World.

 

Over the last couple of days, I have had some phone calls back and forth
from fellow members who are concerned about the fact that the club didn't
decide on a field at the meeting on Tuesday.  We hate to see an entire
(summer) month go by without a field while we wait for the next club
meeting.  So, some of us have decided to move ahead with the plans to use
the field 'across the way' from Wayne's World.  (Sorry, I don't know the
name of the field owner so I don't exactly know what to call the field at
this point.)  From what I have been told, this field will be even more wide
open than Wayne's and with no berms or wind rows (smoother/flatter too).

 

Mike Mosesian has been in contact with the owners and with Wayne and
everything is looking good.  Wayne says he is fine with us moving and there
would be no hard feelings.  Mike also negotiated for us (or ARCS) to spread
out the payments across a five month term - which comes out to $400 per
month for a total of $2,000 (which is even cheaper than last year's field). 

 

We have discussed this with our club president, Tom Simes, and it seems that
everything is looking good for us to go ahead and begin getting things in
order (insurance for the field, figure out the runway, move the benches,
etc.).

 

So now we (you, us) need to get together and set up a day/time to meet out
there and discuss the arrangements and have a good look around.  Maybe a
work party or something to that effect.  Those that are interested in
helping and/or would like to be involved and see the field (and hopefully do
some flying too), just let your voice be heard here on the mailing list.
Alternately, if you prefer to remain anonymous, go ahead and send an email
directly to my email address (below).

 

Reminder: There still hasn't been an 'official' club vote on the field.  As
far as I know, we will still be taking care of the voting process at the
next meeting.

 

Thanks.  

(Also a huge thanks goes out to Mike Mosesian and Pat Martin for getting the
ball rolling.)
