Proposed new signageHere is the proposed design for the new sign that Philip DelNero is building for the club.

Things to note, from Phil:

1. These are not necessarily the colors we would use, it is only intended to create contrast between the components making up the sign.
2. The CORCS logo will be seen from both sides and the area of the frame will be 38″ tall by 36″ wide (tip of Heli rotor to bottom of CORCS steel frame).

If you have any feedback, let us know by e-mail or post your comments here.

And big thanks to Phil for his work!

Futaba FASST Service Advisory Posted: February 14, 2008

Posted by Webmaster in : Club News , add a comment

Here is a very important advisory for any club members who are flying with the new Futaba FASST 2.4GHz spread spectrum systems. Be aware that if your transmitter is affected your radio link could be compromised by another user with an affected Futaba FASST transmitter and cause a complete loss of control of aircraft.

According to Futaba, Mike’s Models in OKC has a testing station available.

 

Futaba 6EX, 7C and TM-7 Service Advisory


Updated January 30, 2008

This service advisory affects only owners of the Futaba TM-7 module and 6EX and 7C FASST systems. Each FASST transmitter contains a unique eight digit identification code, programmed at the factory to identify the respective transmitter and to allow a receiver to be paired only to that radio’s signal. Recently we have learned that a very small number of the TM-7 modules, and 6EX and 7C FASST systems were incorrectly coded with a common code number during the manufacturing process. These units were subsequently sold prior to our awareness of the situation.

If two or more units, utilizing this common identification code, were to be in use simultaneously, they may cause interference with one another. Please note: Units which utilize the correct identification code will not be affected by these units.
