Notes from February’s meeting

Webmaster — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 03:38:33 +0000

As reported by our treasurer, income this month had increased by nearly $700 from member dues paid. Currently there are 26 active members and that number will continue to grow quickly as the warmer weather approaches.

We showed several videos during the latter half of the hour which included a Boeing 737 Business Jet on takeoff, a PowerPoint presentation entitled “Eye Candy for Aviators” and a very entertaining five minute video of a jet-powered, radio-controlled SR-71 from takeoff to landing.

The Model of the Month went to Jerry Short for his SIG Midstar with a Fox 40.

News from this month’s meeting

First, the president of CORCS, Wayne Shalamunec, wanted to remind everyone about this year’s dues and to encourage all outstanding members to please have them paid by the middle of February.

Next, treasurer Jerry Church went over the current finances for the month. There was only one expense for annual maintenance of the CORCS web site. Except for a few payments submitted during the meeting, no income was received.

Then, Wayne asked our members for new and exciting ideas for this year’s events. (Those who were unable to attend and would like to participate may do so using the comment section of this page. We look forward to your ideas!) Here are some of the suggestions so far:

Evening/Night Flight
Bi-Wing Flight (any type of bi-wing aircraft)
Field trip to Stafford Air & Space Center in Weatherford
Guest speaker to present the history of radio-controlled flying

Finally, the Model of the Month went to James Farris and Thomas Wood for their joint collaboration on a Tiger 60.

Jim Farris & Tom Wood proudly display their Tiger 60.

Just an update, the calendar incorrectly showed the October meeting on the 7th, but the 2nd Wednesday of the month is actually the 14th.

The calendar has been corrected at the last minute, at great expense. Those responsible have been sacked.

Here are some pictures from today’s float fly at the Norman Veteran’s Center. We had a pretty large crowd and quite a few planes flying throughout the afternoon, and the weather was great for the event.
