[AlaskaRC] ARCS Field

Tom,
By the sounds of it from my end you seem upset. I think a part of that is
from miscommunication and some misconceptions. I just want it be known for
the record that I indeed helped out with the Elmendorf field last season
when I was there. For those who don't fly in the winter I understand that
all of the work I did at cleaning up the club house and making it rather
nice (creature comforts) would have gone un-noticed. That's fair enough on
that, no hard feelings there. I know you may feel put off by some of the
club members, However I am sure that who ever paid for the field for us to
fly on did it as a gesture for the whole club and not just a select few. I
have always seen ARCS club members receive each other's company well as long
as the ambiguous personalities are left at home and respect is shown to one
another at the fields. We do tend to settle into our own clicks, but there
isn't much preventing all of us getting along and flying together. All
people have to do is respectfully communicate and treat each other the way
we want to be treated in return. I know most of the guys with the big planes
are pretty reasonable. As long as your nice about it, you can let them know
if something is bugging you and they will try and help relieve the problem.
I know for a fact that most of us try and limit our flights to ten minutes
when smaller planes or multiple people are around. I would almost bet that
whoever paid for the field did it out of the best interest for the club. I
understand that the vote has been postponed till next month. If I know Tom
Simes at all I'm sure this was for a good reason. Right now the way it looks
is that a kind individual has fronted a month's rent so the club can
continue to have fun on all levels. They probably were inpatient, didn't
want to deal with the timely politics, and wanted to continue to have fun.
Has anyone excluded people from the field yet? Don't sell yourself short
Tom. I don't think anyone has it in for you personally. We are all just
grown men trying to play with our toys and visit with our friends. This
really should be a relaxed and fun environment.
Jr.

i dont care about comp and at the meeting it was said bye the presdent that
we would take care of the field issue at the next meeting and bye the way
the first email had nothing to say about one of you paying for the field out
of your pocket
and if its not club money then the club dont have to pay it back right cause
the rest of us wont be wecome as always
you cant fly 40 to 60 size planes on hay stubble
i cant see 75 people that live in anch driving to the end of the world just
so we can sit and watch the few of you big dogs
hover and hover ok your better at it than i am or is it i just do not choose
to be selfish and just hog the hole dagon field
pretty good no cuse words yet ! but why do you few have to push thats fine
fly above 300 ft that has always been the issue
with elmendorf i am not stopping nothing you all are doing i am just saying
the way you all are doing this is wrong you few did not care about
elmendorf or the rent a can oh and bye the way
last summer we got to spend a hole 500.00 on elmendorf and a lot of people
came out an helped a lot
but none of you big dogs came out i even sent out messages that there were
work partys to help fill the big holes
so that you would no hurt your big planes of all vareis types and sizes and
then there was not even enough
people to help jude or time and on one of yalls comps ya didnt even have
enough people to compete
i dont care about how you are trying to shove this down the rest of the
peoples througt

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.)
