The SEFSD Board of Directors has decided there will no Spring Fling in 2011

 

Monthly Meeting:

 

 

Outdoor meetings are held at the SEFSD club field at Mission Bay, typically on the fourth Saturday of the month.  Please see the home page for the latest meeting information.

 

 

The following frequency listings are those that have a possible potential for interference at our field location because of adjacent paging channels in the frequency band. However, major manufacturers have advised that a dual conversion receiver will not have problems with interference from such legally assigned adjacent frequency paging channels, if the radio in use has been properly tuned. UPDATE: The frequencies were scanned in mid 2001 and found the same interference as before. (During a three week November 1997 test, a scanner picked up paging signals only between those channels shown below):

• It is unknown which other channel should be paired with 36 [either 35 or 37]as the only activity heard was on channel 36… The scanner used was not selective enough to tell if the activity actually encroached on our assigned frequencies or was just above or below ours. We believe that properly tuned receivers should not have any interference problems. Further, there has been no identified interference observed at the field during recent years that ever resulted in flight curtailments.

Home of the San Diego Electroglide This LMR/F5J event is designed for any model powered by an “outrunner” with flux ring dimensions not to exceed 28mm in diameter and 16mm in length. Either 2-cell LiPos or 7-cell NiCd/NiMhs may be used. The contest consists of three, consecutive, mass launches. The total score will determine final placing. Motor runs will be determined at the flight line before the first launch and will be the same duration for each successive launch. No inter-launch battery charging will be allowed. Scoring will be 6 points per minute (one point per 10 seconds, rounded up). Bonus points for accurate, full-stop landings, are to be assessed from the nose of the aircraft — 10, 20, or 30 points per flight. Landings off field, flights longer than 15 minutes, or the use of additional motor run time will result in no points for that launch.

HOW TO BECOME A 2017 MEMBER OF THE
SILENT ELECTRIC FLYERS of SAN DIEGO

 

PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE FILLING OUT THE APPROPRIATE FORM AND PAYING DUES

 

 

SEFSD MEMBERSHIP:

 

Membership for SEFSD costs $45 for the calendar year (January 1^st through December 31^st). Additional family members in the same household pay $10 each for the same calendar year.

 

AMA MEMBERSHIP:

 

To join the SEFSD flying club, you must be a current member of the ACADEMY OF MODEL AERONAUTICS .  AMA Membership provides you and our club important liability insurance coverage. We do not accept the Park Pilot AMA or 3 month free trial membership as it does not provide the amount of liability insurance coverage needed for SEFSD. You must have your 2017 AMA Membership completed before proceeding.

 

There are many members whose AMA membership expires December 31, 2016. When you renew your AMA membership, it will not expire until December 31, 2017 and your 2017 SEFSD Membership badge is good for the entire year.

 

—Important Note for New AMA Members (whose AMA membership does not expire on December 31^st)

 

Unlike the SEFSD, AMA starts their annual membership the month that you sign up. Consequently, you will have two expiration dates in any given year, one for SEFSD and one for the AMA. You will be issued two separate SEFSD membership cards corresponding to those dates. For those new AMA members it can be a bit confusing. Your AMA membership validation is checked monthly by the SEFSD Membership Coordinator. You will not be able to fly if your AMA membership has expired. For example: if your AMA membership expires August 31^st, you may not fly starting in September until you renew with AMA. If you do not renew your AMA membership until September 15, you will have no liability coverage and consequently you are not allowed to fly with SEFSD from September 1^st through September 14th. If you renew with no lapse in AMA membership, a new badge will be sent with your new AMA expiration date. Your membership coordinator will also send you an email the month your AMA membership expires so you can avoid any lapse in AMA coverage. The names of those who have let their membership with AMA expire will be given to the SEFSD Board of Directors.

 

 

New Electronic Membership Form

 

Three ways to join or renew membership in SEFSD after securing your full AMA membership:

 

1. Fill out the yellow form below, click ‘Submit and Pay’, and pay using the PayPal option.
2. Fill out the yellow form below, ignore the PayPal option and mail a check to the address below.
3. Download the , print and fill out (two signatures required). Mail with a check to the address below.  PLEASE WAIT FOR THE NEW MEMBERSHIP FORM BEFORE SENDING IN ANY RENEWAL MONEY, THANKS.

 

TBD
