AMA News: District XI - 2008/03
Once again, this is the time of year for new officers. It is also time to check and file your incorporation papers that expire each year. If your club is not registered with the State of Washington or another state, you should be. You can get the documents (only one or two pages) by contacting the secretary of state’s office. You want to register as a not-for-profit corporation. There is a small fee (I believe $10 or $15). This can help protect your officers and club assets.
Incorporation and sanction requests
- Register as a not-for-profit corporation through your state secretary of state’s office (small fee, documents are short).
- When sending in a sanction request, do not send it to me or to AMA directly. The form should be sent to Bill Smith. His information appears in the District XI column in MA each month.
Cub Nuts (Molalla RC Association)
Cub Nuts was an event sponsored by the Molalla RC Association on September 21–22. More than 50 RC pilots, who brought 100 Cubs, were entered in the event. Cub Nuts also drew about a dozen full-scale Cubs, including the Carbon Cub, which has a take-off roll of only 17 feet. The full-scale pilots enjoyed the RC Cubs as much as we enjoyed their full-scale airplanes.
Friday featured aerotowing. Gene Cope brought his Yakima Bull and we aerotowed a number of scale gliders. For information about next year’s event (to be held September 19–20), please visit www.cubnuts.com or contact the CD, Jim Riggle, at [email protected].
Red Apple Flyers — Wenatchee field
I recently saw aerial photos and photos of the buildings under construction at the Red Apple Flyers’ new field in Wenatchee, Washington. After several years of planning and negotiating with Waste Management, the project is well underway. The clubhouse is partially framed and, from the photos, it appears the runway is paved. The club has had an option with Waste Management for more than five years and has worked hard to create a great flying site and put on events to be proud of.
If I know these modelers, they will most likely be on the new site in time for the annual Apple Blossom Fly-In. Congratulations to the Red Apple Flyers for decades of great events and for a job well done with the field.
Salmon Arm Float Fly
The Salmon Arm Float Fly is held the first full weekend in June and again on the first full weekend in September at the Sandy Pointe Campground near Salmon Arm, British Columbia. Most fliers go up the week before. Contact the campground for reservations, as it fills up quickly; they will be taking reservations this year.
Flying season will be with us soon, so check your equipment and think safety.
Until next time. Bruce
