President’s Message for April 2014

Tim at OtayClub members, celebrate because we live in a weather paradise.  We could use more water in San Diego but since we cannot affect this too much let’s just enjoy our sun and beach environment and this Saturday all members are welcome to have some fun in the Foam Frenzy event followed by a general club meeting.
    The Foam Frenzy starts at 9 and runs until 11 at which time we will have a time to get current on all club activities and have a say in what happens in the near and long term.  Possible food to follow the meeting but not for sure at this time.  The weatherman says we will have 63 degree weather but we know that can be better, however come prepared.  Last months Poker Hand Fun fly was a great success and this should be just as much fun.
    The SDSU aerospace/engineering team, which has received mentoring from our club and specifically Pedro Brantuas over the years produced and test flew their aircraft in the Design, Build and Fly competition a few days ago at SEFSD.  It should be noted that of the 72 universities that brought aircraft to fly at Cessna headquarters in Wichita,  Kansas and SDSU finished a highly respectable 9th place.  This competition has teams from all around the world and it serves as a training ground for a lot of young students to get into the RC world and a career in aerospace and we should be proud to support this activity every year. UCSD also has a team and deserves our support if and when they call upon us.  Along those lines our relationship with Hi Tech High in Pt Loma is a good interface with young people that are looking for something other than  computer games etc to supply a new passion in their lives.  We should always look for ways to develop rapport and connections with young people as they are the future.  Usually we have a little show and tell with the aircraft and here’s hoping that they (SDSU Team)  will want to bring down the aircraft they developed and show us the tasks that had to be completed by each competitor.  
    The Alliant University Gym Monthly Event was very successful, last month, according to Steve Belknap.  Indoor kite flying was featured and well represented as well as small rubber band aircraft modelers.  One hundred and sixty dollars was collected from participants and that shows that we have some very good support for our investment that we approved at the start of the year.  I am very happy to see this support now and into the future.
    The current calendared events for May, 2014 are the following:   F5B Practice 12- 4 on May 18th Sun, EMAC or (Aerobatics clinic)  12 to 4 on Sun May 4th, Electroglide on the 17th from 9 to 10:30 and then finally a Fun Fly on Saturday the 31st followed by a general meeting.  Check out the calendar frequently as changes can and will occur and you don’t want to be surprised.  These activities in most part can be accomplished without field closure and must be approved (As I have indicated in my March message) by the board of SEFSD. The EMAC group and those that may or may not have an interest but want to learn more should assemble at around noon and I have a short presentation that might pique your interest in flying an aircraft with precision.  This clinic is brief and can work with any and all aircraft that you own and fly…….take advantage of this discussion/clinic.  
    Remember to fly safely and with respect for others and if you bring guests to fly at our SEFSD Mission Bay site be prepared to have the member and guest sign the book and prove AMA membership.  We do want to tighten-up this policy and we might as well get used to more accountability now and into the future at SEFSD.

Tim

Typically dispensary can offer to customers with convenient treatments for variant diseases. With the Internet flooded with different online drugstores selling variant remedies, purchasing medicines online is no longer a dream for most of us. You can order online drug to treat chronic treatment of the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis or spasticity. Few medicaments are used to treat impotency. Cialis is a medicament prescribed to treat a lot of afflictions. What do you think about best place to buy generic viagra online? Where you can read correct info about ? (Read more ). Perhaps you already know something about the question. Ordinarily when some goes wrong with your erection, it can exert your sex existence as well as your overall well-being. Once you’ve studied the basics about men’s erectile disfunction from us, you may want to see what other reputable sources have to say. Online pharmacist services are the only safe variation if you are going to get remedies, like Cialis, online.

Remembering Matt Orme

Matt OrmeSome of you will recall Matt Orme who worked for Aveox in the early years of brushless motors.  Matt handled all the hobby motor sales and customer support.  He later left Aveox when they got out of the hobby motor business and started his own motor company, Razor Motors.  After a long battle with cancer, Matt died December 31, 2013. 

 

 You can read his blog which he wrote for his twin boys here:  http://mattheworme.blogspot.com/

 

Matt also formulated “Orme’s Law” for calculating the number of Ni-MH cells need to power an electric plane in the pre-LiPo years of electric flight.

Quan Nguyen – Safety

Quan first started modeling in 2001 when he was thirteen. His first airplane was a GWS Lite Stick. After many busy years in grade school and college at UC San Diego as a computer science major, Quan finally found the time to get back into the hobby. He joined SEFSD in 2012, and was elected safety officer in 2014. He frequents the field on weekend mornings and enjoys flying sports aerobatic models, and is always eager to help newcomers into the hobby (Let him know if you want to set up a buddy box with him. He’s always glad to get people flying.).  When not flying, Quan spends his time as a software engineer writing code.
