Special Note Regarding Club-Fly Days:

The Club field rules require an observer in order to fly at the Florence airport site.  Normally, during the winter informal airport club-fly days are Sunday and Monday mornings.  From June 5 to September 30 airport club-fly days are expanded to include Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings.  On these three airport club-fly days an assigned club member will be at the field at 9:000am or before to provide an observer if a member wants to fly.  If no flyer appears the observer will leave around 10:00am.  No observer will appear on high wind or rain days.  Field observers are listed below and may be called if there is a question about weather on a particular club fly day.

2012 Schedule:

      May 6 - 2012 2:00pm - Spring Club meeting - Place to be announced

      October 7, 2012 2:00pm - Fall Club meeting - Place to be announced

 

Notes:

(1) Green Events:  Details on these events that are sanctioned by the AMA may be found on the AMA website at:   http://www.modelaircraft.org/comp/contest.htm or information may be found on the appropriate club web site or by contacting the person listed as the club contact.

(2) "Club Float Fly" listings refer to club float fly activities at Woahink lake that begin around 8:00am on the scheduled days and stop when the last interested party has left the lake, normally around 11:00am.  Non club members who are current AMA members are welcome to join in.  Any weather cancellations are normally posted to the club web site schedule the night before the scheduled float fly.  A recovery boat will be provided on the scheduled float fly days.  If you have questions contact Russ Petersen (541-997-3202) or russ@rjpetersen.com
