Club Fees 2010 Fees for 2010 will be £50, same as last years. BMFA £29 Club £21 All club members are required to
be BMFA members After much "discussion" at the last committee meeting, frequency control at Mallusk this year will be of the "peg on" form. Each flyer will have a peg with their name on and when they want to fly, they place it on the board on the frequency they are transmitting on. Bill will supply each flyer with a peg at the first event of the year and it is then the flyers responsibility to remember to bring it to the field. Please ensure you are sure of what this means BEFORE the first event!!! If in doubt ask a committee member!
"Negative Lead Corrosion: Until last Wednesday evening this was only something I had read about. I launched my large electric glider and it set off happily towards the entrance gates. It then demonstrated a disconcerting lack of response to control inputs and continued in a gentle descending right-hand turn towards the car park. It just missed the cars and crashed into a tree from which it was fairly gently deposited on the pavement. Lucky Me! On examining the electrics, I thought that my soldered joint between the negative battery lead and 4mm socket had failed, but on cutting off the socket I found that the whole wire part of the lead had been reduced to a sorry black mess! Perhaps in pre-flight checks, we should include a jiggling of the black lead?" Reproduced with the permission of Mike Leonard (Chairman) |
