[AlaskaRC] ARCS Field

Fri May 8 05:32:54 AKDT 2009

Thank you Tom Parsley.

Just in case you (or anybody else) misunderstood my original message, no one
is spending club money and no one is planning to spend club money (without a
club vote).  The club's bank accounts are safe and secure and have not been
touched. 

As of yesterday (5/7/09), a field payment was made in the amount of $400 (I
believe).  That came out of somebody's pocket, not the club's accounts.  So,
as of now, the field in question is available to those of us that want to
start working (and flying) on it.  We plan to go take a look at the field
and conditions this afternoon.  Interested club members should stay tuned to
this discussion for further developments and announcements.

Yes, there will still be a discussion and voting on the subject of a new
field at the next meeting.   And, by all means, please continue looking for
new fields.

Again Tom, thank you for input.

from what i remember at the club meeting tuesday we all were going to vote
and persue the other flying fields at the next meeting 

you were not in no big hurry to open the rent a can so just wait for all of
us not just a few of you to make the dission 

of when and where your going to fly your contest  and a vote of the members
at a reg meeting is required before we spend 

more than 500.00 

never the less we still need to vote on this before we persue this any
further

Subject: [AlaskaRC] ARCS Field

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.)
