[AlaskaRC] ARCS Field

Fri May 8 06:34:27 AKDT 2009

Hi Tom,

This field is not just for flying contests. Many of us like to fly planes above 300'. This field would have no size, sound or altitude restrictions (other than AMA safety regs.). Also, for events like the Hal Horton Memorial (non-competition) which are open to the public, there would be no problems for non-members like getting through the gate at Elmendorf. As Armand has said, one of our members has taken a positive step for the club and paid for this month OUT OF HIS OWN POCKET (not club money).

Any club member can contact a club officer and get permission to have the rent a can delivered. I used to do it for Moffit and I was not a club officer. Maybe we all could try to help out instead of making it more difficult.

Steve

  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

    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.)
