evaluate own personality profiles develop vision statement future AMA think personality profiles portion simply Sound/Crispin Continued paqe 147 common questions asked relative sound-level readings Academy established some standards provide consistency information makes possible refer same type information situations increases greatly effectiveness advice provided clubs individuals first readings wherever possible should taken over hard surface meter should placed nine 9 feet downwind right side aircraft meter should exercise affirming what us already knew about other am sure will give new Executive Director head start leaming work individual members Executive Council am sure Vision statement will printed somewhere else issue woni repeat it interesting see develop gel worthy piece little disappointed see intense session result definitive long range planning will admit sensed greater feeling global thinking rather district thinking ensuing Executive Council meeting probably good still didnt see anything concrete future except another scheduled long range planning session Dont get wrong strongly support long range planning fully realize cant really plan effectively dont have same vision what want future guess Ijust get frustrated long takes adequately actually quite interesting see variety answers opinions such seemingly easy questions what AMA what should what should long range plan answers ran wide spectrum emphasis ranging physical facilities philosophical visions represent some pretty weird pictures what should least couple steps above ink blot stuff still pretty far out hope will lead better organization Its funny though think back realize insurance hardly ever mentioned guess Executive Council members see insurance what actually means end end itself Insurance necessary service enhance ability get flying sites reason AMA exists Frankly Id placed about foot above surface Never never hold aircraft above ground run full power order take readings meter should set read scale Slow response Any other setting will skew readings require some mathematical interpretation Lower cost meters such Radio Shack equipped very good temperature compensation circuits should permit instrument left out sun heat closed vehicle accuracy will shift calibrated value permitted user meter should checked calibration periodic basis easily accomplished users good practice rather have spend much effort much resources insurance really wish Id never heard dictates society make necessasy evil Nats certainly less roaring success have heard some good comments some would have believed degree upset over cancelling scale events freland decision made can appreciate just difficult make think anyone really gave much thought section AMA rule book deals cancellation due low entry read section carefully obvious concern cancellation event day scheduled rather well before fact people made decision made early enough notify pre registered contestant well before nats started have assured decision taken lightly made after lot thought Consideration volunteer officials would have travel thousands combined miles judge relative handful airplanes part equation along fact would save ton money somewhere around $900000 cancel event Competition important part AMA lets face it still constitutes small portion membership non-competition majority supports competition minority decide run scale event spite financial considerations would spend entire dues income over 225 members event alone right decision think Would have made same decision am sure Till next month * Different meters require different orientation use Radio Shack instructions specify microphone pointed directly toward sound source Follow instructions best results item mentioned Radio

evaluate own personality profiles develop vision statement future AMA think personality profiles portion simply Sound/Crispin Continued paqe 147 common questions asked relative sound-level readings Academy established some standards provide consistency information makes possible refer same type information situations increases greatly effectiveness advice provided clubs individuals first readings wherever possible should taken over hard surface meter should placed nine 9 feet downwind right side aircraft meter should exercise affirming what us already knew about other am sure will give new Executive Director head start leaming work individual members Executive Council am sure Vision statement will printed somewhere else issue woni repeat it interesting see develop gel worthy piece little disappointed see intense session result definitive long range planning will admit sensed greater feeling global thinking rather district thinking ensuing Executive Council meeting probably good still didnt see anything concrete future except another scheduled long range planning session Dont get wrong strongly support long range planning fully realize cant really plan effectively dont have same vision what want future guess Ijust get frustrated long takes adequately actually quite interesting see variety answers opinions such seemingly easy questions what AMA what should what should long range plan answers ran wide spectrum emphasis ranging physical facilities philosophical visions represent some pretty weird pictures what should least couple steps above ink blot stuff still pretty far out hope will lead better organization Its funny though think back realize insurance hardly ever mentioned guess Executive Council members see insurance what actually means end end itself Insurance necessary service enhance ability get flying sites reason AMA exists Frankly Id placed about foot above surface Never never hold aircraft above ground run full power order take readings meter should set read scale Slow response Any other setting will skew readings require some mathematical interpretation Lower cost meters such Radio Shack equipped very good temperature

cancellation due low entry read section carefully obvious concern cancellation event day scheduled rather well before fact people made decision made early enough notify pre registered contestant well before nats started have assured decision taken lightly made after lot thought Consideration volunteer officials would have travel thousands combined miles judge relative handful airplanes part equation along fact would save ton money somewhere around $900000 cancel event Competition important part AMA lets face it still constitutes small portion membership non-competition majority supports competition minority decide run scale event spite financial considerations would spend entire dues income over 225 members event alone right decision think Would have made same decision am sure Till

probably good still didnt see anything concrete future except another scheduled long range planning session Dont get wrong strongly support long range planning fully realize cant really plan

should what should long range plan answers ran wide spectrum emphasis ranging physical facilities philosophical visions represent some pretty weird pictures what should least couple steps above ink blot stuff still pretty far out hope will lead better organization Its funny though think back realize insurance hardly ever mentioned guess Executive Council members see insurance what actually means end end itself Insurance necessary service enhance ability get flying sites reason AMA exists Frankly Id placed about foot above surface Never never hold aircraft above ground run full power order

Academy established some standards provide consistency information makes possible refer same type information situations increases greatly effectiveness advice provided clubs individuals first readings wherever possible should taken over hard surface meter should placed nine 9 feet downwind right side aircraft meter should exercise affirming what us already knew about other am sure will give new Executive Director head start leaming work individual members Executive Council am sure Vision statement will printed somewhere else issue woni repeat it interesting see develop gel worthy piece little disappointed see intense session result definitive long range planning will admit sensed greater feeling global thinking rather district thinking ensuing Executive Council meeting probably good still didnt see anything concrete future except another scheduled long range planning session Dont get wrong strongly support long range planning fully realize cant really plan effectively dont have same vision what want future guess Ijust get frustrated long takes adequately actually quite interesting see variety answers opinions such seemingly easy questions what AMA what should what should long range plan answers ran wide spectrum emphasis ranging physical facilities philosophical visions represent some pretty weird pictures what should least couple steps above ink blot stuff still pretty far out hope will lead better organization Its funny though think back realize insurance hardly ever mentioned guess Executive Council members see insurance what actually means end end itself Insurance necessary service enhance ability get flying sites reason AMA exists Frankly Id placed about foot above surface Never never hold aircraft above ground run full power order take readings meter should set read scale Slow response Any other setting will skew readings require some mathematical interpretation Lower cost meters such Radio Shack equipped very good temperature

users good practice rather have spend much effort much resources insurance really wish Id never heard dictates society make necessasy evil Nats certainly less roaring success have heard some good comments some would have believed degree upset over cancelling scale events freland decision made can appreciate just difficult make think anyone really gave much thought section AMA rule book deals cancellation due low entry read section carefully obvious concern cancellation event day scheduled rather well before fact people made decision made early enough notify pre registered contestant well before nats started have assured decision taken lightly made after lot thought Consideration volunteer officials would have travel thousands combined miles judge relative handful airplanes part

competition minority decide run scale event spite financial considerations would spend entire dues income over 225 members event alone right decision think Would have made same decision am sure Till

probably good still didnt see anything concrete future except another scheduled long range planning session Dont get wrong strongly support long range planning fully realize cant really plan effectively dont have same vision what want future guess Ijust get frustrated long takes adequately actually quite interesting see variety answers opinions such seemingly easy questions what AMA what should what should long range plan answers ran wide spectrum emphasis ranging physical facilities philosophical visions represent some pretty weird pictures what should least couple steps above ink

give new Executive Director head start leaming work individual members Executive Council am sure Vision statement will printed somewhere else issue woni repeat it interesting see develop gel worthy piece little disappointed see intense session result definitive long range planning will admit sensed greater feeling global thinking rather district thinking ensuing Executive Council meeting probably good still didnt see anything concrete future except another scheduled long range planning session Dont get wrong strongly support long range planning fully realize cant really plan effectively dont have same vision what want future guess Ijust get frustrated long takes adequately actually quite interesting see variety answers opinions such seemingly easy questions what AMA what should what should long range plan answers ran wide spectrum emphasis ranging physical facilities philosophical visions represent some pretty weird pictures what should least couple steps above ink blot stuff still pretty far out hope will lead better organization Its funny though think back realize insurance hardly ever mentioned guess Executive Council members see insurance what actually means end end itself Insurance necessary service enhance ability get flying sites reason AMA exists Frankly Id placed about foot above surface Never never hold aircraft above ground run full power order

evaluate own personality profiles develop vision statement future AMA think personality profiles portion simply Sound/Crispin Continued paqe 147 common questions asked relative sound-level readings Academy established some standards provide consistency information makes possible refer same type information situations increases greatly effectiveness advice provided clubs individuals first readings wherever possible should taken over hard surface meter should placed nine 9 feet downwind right side aircraft meter should exercise affirming what us already knew about other am sure will give new Executive Director head start leaming work individual members Executive Council am sure Vision statement will printed somewhere else issue woni repeat it interesting see develop gel worthy piece little disappointed see intense session result definitive long range planning will admit sensed greater feeling global thinking rather district thinking ensuing Executive Council meeting probably good still didnt see anything concrete future except another scheduled long range planning session Dont get wrong strongly support long range planning fully realize cant really plan effectively dont have same vision what want future guess Ijust get frustrated long takes adequately actually quite interesting see variety answers opinions such seemingly easy questions what AMA what should what should long range plan answers ran wide spectrum emphasis ranging physical facilities philosophical visions represent some pretty weird pictures what should least couple steps above ink blot stuff still pretty far out hope will lead better organization Its funny though think back realize insurance hardly ever mentioned guess Executive Council members see insurance what actually means end end itself Insurance necessary service enhance ability get flying sites reason AMA exists Frankly Id placed about foot above surface Never never hold aircraft above ground run full power order take readings meter should set read scale Slow response Any other setting will skew readings require some mathematical interpretation Lower cost meters such Radio Shack equipped very good temperature compensation circuits should permit instrument left out sun heat closed vehicle accuracy will shift calibrated value permitted user meter should checked calibration periodic basis easily accomplished users good practice rather have spend much effort much resources insurance really wish Id never heard dictates society make necessasy evil Nats certainly less roaring success have heard some good comments some would have believed degree upset over cancelling scale events freland decision made can appreciate just difficult make think anyone really gave much thought section AMA rule book deals cancellation due low entry read section carefully obvious concern cancellation event day scheduled rather well before fact people made decision made early enough notify pre registered contestant well before nats started have assured decision taken lightly made after lot thought Consideration volunteer officials would have travel thousands combined miles judge relative handful airplanes part

competition minority decide run scale event spite financial considerations would spend entire dues income over 225 members event alone right decision think Would have made same decision am sure Till

evaluate own personality profiles develop vision statement future AMA think personality profiles portion simply Sound/Crispin Continued paqe 147 common questions asked relative sound-level readings Academy established some standards provide consistency information makes possible refer same type information situations increases greatly effectiveness advice provided clubs individuals first readings wherever possible should taken over hard surface meter should placed nine 9 feet downwind right side aircraft meter should exercise affirming what us already knew about other am sure will give new Executive Director head start leaming work individual members Executive Council am sure Vision statement will printed somewhere else issue woni repeat it interesting see develop gel worthy piece little disappointed see intense session result definitive long range planning will admit sensed greater feeling global thinking rather district thinking ensuing Executive Council meeting probably good still didnt see anything concrete future except another scheduled long range planning session Dont get wrong strongly support long range planning fully realize cant really plan effectively dont have same vision what want future guess Ijust get frustrated long takes adequately actually quite interesting see variety answers opinions such seemingly easy questions what AMA what should what should long range plan answers ran wide spectrum emphasis ranging physical facilities philosophical visions represent some pretty weird pictures what should least couple steps above ink blot stuff still pretty far out hope will lead better organization Its funny though think back realize insurance hardly ever mentioned guess Executive Council members see insurance what actually means end end itself Insurance necessary service enhance ability get flying sites reason AMA exists Frankly Id placed about foot above surface Never never hold aircraft above ground run full power order take readings meter should set read scale Slow response Any other setting will skew readings require some mathematical interpretation Lower cost meters such Radio Shack equipped very good temperature compensation circuits should permit instrument left out sun heat closed vehicle accuracy will shift calibrated value permitted user meter should checked calibration periodic basis easily accomplished users good practice rather have spend much effort much resources insurance really wish Id never heard dictates society make necessasy evil Nats certainly less roaring success have heard some good comments some would have believed degree upset over cancelling scale events freland decision made can appreciate just difficult make think anyone really gave much thought section AMA rule book deals cancellation due low entry read section carefully obvious concern cancellation event day scheduled rather well before fact people made decision made early enough notify pre registered contestant well before nats started have assured decision taken lightly made after lot thought Consideration volunteer officials would have travel thousands combined miles judge relative handful airplanes part equation along fact would save ton money somewhere around $900000 cancel event Competition important part AMA lets face it still constitutes small portion membership non-competition majority supports competition minority decide run scale event spite financial considerations would spend entire dues income over 225 members event alone right decision think Would have made same decision am sure Till next month * Different meters require different orientation use Radio Shack instructions specify microphone pointed directly toward sound source Follow instructions best results item mentioned Radio Shack instructions regards use wind screen round foam ball designed slipped over end microphone microphones susceptible influence wind impacting diaphragm some influenced others event important use

evaluate own personality profiles develop vision statement future AMA think personality profiles portion simply Sound/Crispin Continued paqe 147 common questions asked relative sound-level readings Academy established some standards provide consistency information makes possible refer same type information situations increases greatly effectiveness advice provided clubs individuals first readings wherever possible should taken over hard surface meter should placed nine 9 feet downwind right side aircraft meter should exercise affirming what us already knew about other am sure will give new Executive Director head start leaming work individual members Executive Council am sure Vision statement will printed somewhere else issue woni repeat it interesting see develop gel worthy piece little disappointed see intense session result definitive long range planning will admit sensed greater feeling global thinking rather district thinking ensuing Executive Council meeting probably good still didnt see anything concrete future except another scheduled long range planning session Dont get wrong strongly support long range planning fully realize cant really plan effectively dont have same vision what want future guess Ijust get frustrated long takes adequately actually quite interesting see variety answers opinions such seemingly easy questions what AMA what should what should long range plan answers ran wide spectrum emphasis ranging physical facilities philosophical visions represent some pretty weird pictures what should least couple steps above ink blot stuff still pretty far out hope will lead better organization Its funny though think back realize insurance hardly ever mentioned guess Executive Council members see insurance what actually means end end itself Insurance necessary service enhance ability get flying sites reason AMA exists Frankly Id placed about foot above surface Never never hold aircraft above ground run full power order take readings meter should set read scale Slow response Any other setting will skew readings require some mathematical interpretation Lower cost meters such Radio Shack equipped very good temperature compensation circuits should permit instrument left out sun heat closed vehicle accuracy will shift calibrated value permitted user meter should checked calibration periodic basis easily accomplished

comments some would have believed degree upset over cancelling scale events freland decision made can appreciate just difficult make think anyone really gave much thought section AMA rule book deals cancellation due low entry read section carefully obvious concern cancellation event day scheduled rather well before fact people made decision made early enough notify pre registered contestant well before nats started have assured decision taken lightly made after lot thought Consideration volunteer officials would have travel thousands combined miles judge relative handful airplanes part equation along fact would save ton money somewhere around $900000 cancel event Competition important part AMA lets face it still constitutes small portion membership non-competition majority supports competition minority decide run scale event spite financial considerations would spend entire dues income over 225 members event alone right decision think Would have made same decision am sure Till
