My only question is why is Paul still on the mailing list when he was voted off the last one? Also, why do we have to still put up with his constant abuse? Im tired of getting this kind of maill all the time. If you dont have anything to say that is constructive, or model related, please keep it to yourself. The rest of us want to move on and enjoy our hobby. The new field is for anyone, those who still want to fly rc, come out and enjoy a new field and get back to what this hobby is all about, flying. Keep your petty squabling to yourself. some of our members have stepped up to help the rest of us to a new place to fly, to those involved I thank you very much. You are the people that make this hobby worth being in. Only a few have come together to try and make it better for the rest. Yes it is a longer drive, but it has been timed to about 1 hour 20 mins. If you look at some of the other clubs in the lower 48, they also have to drive long distance to enjoy what they like doing. Get on some of the Rc forums and look around. They all face the same thing we have, and most of them dont care. Why? Because they love what they do and the people they do it with. I haven't been in this club for very long. But i've been here long enough to see that a lot of people just dont fly anymore. Part of that problem is the fact our only field is on EAFB. I too would like to see something closer, better. But this is what we have for now that will work for everyone with a little effort. If you dont like the drive, or how this is being handled, fine. But your negitive attitude is bringing everyone down and running people off. This club needs some growth or its going to die and then where will any of us be then.

You guys crack me up. Well, maybe it was because I was still laughing over http://xkcd.com/583/ ... and I forgot to stop. That's what comes from working way too much with computers I suppose. 

I did catch some little thermals last weekend... fixing little stuff on the gliders, getting ready for big air. If the weather and life outside of model airplanes cooperates, I'll try to get up to Storck this Sunday. Anybody stuck a Spektrum AR6100 in a glider yet? I'm thinking about converting over, but would rather not find out the hard way that the range is limited...

Doug

Dear Paul,
Just vote "no" and be quiet.

To the President and Treasurer and interested parties:

I note that the two aforementioned officers are quick to point out that no club funds have been expended so far on the latest acquisition of what is apparently now called Groeschel Field. Never the less, by your actions it appears that you assume that the silly democratic practice of discussion and voting will be nothing but a minor speed bump in your plans. All the announced plans for work parties and moving benches on the pretext of "it must be done anyway and right away" assumes a great deal in my humble opinion.

Oh. Never mind. I forgot somebody anonymously actually already paid the man for the first month and somebody else paid for insurance and oh yes we have free grass seed and, and, . . . . . . 

Oh. We're good to go. The Top Dogs have got it all figured out. No discussion or vote required.

Press on, press on. Run right over any one in the club that might not think leasing another field next door to Wayne's World is not necessarily a good idea. Who needs their two cents worth in any event?

Go. Go. Go. I say!

I've got it on the family calendar and will probably have the van and
both girls in tow. I could put some benches and whatnot in the van if
we need to. The girls are enthusiastic helpers - maybe not fast, but
enthusiastic!

Is there anything I can bring out to help (besides tools)? Survey
paint? Grass seed? (at my own expense for those wondering)
