Minutes of last Meeting : By Ken Bagdon
Skyblazer’s OCTOBER MEETING
The following is the
summary of the October SKYBLAZER’S meeting held at Riverbend.
The meeting was called
to order by Roy Wilson at 7:09
6 out of 69 members
were present for the meeting.
The treasurers’ and
secretary’s report was given.
NEW BUSINESS
On member brought up
the question as to what happens to the club’s money in the
event that the club
disbands. It was suggested that there should be a provision in the constitution
addressing this issue. One option would be to earmark it for donation to the
AMA. Discussion followed and it was recommended that a committee be formed to
redo the constitution which has not been revisited for some time.
Nominations are being accepted for the 2010 officers. Remember that no more then $5,000 can be
spent on campaigning for any position. This includes TV, newspaper and pretty
girl expenditures. Just in case someone
had any question about that.
Dues are being collected for 2010. Envelopes will be sent
out to each member for dues return.
Meetings starting in January will be held at the Galloway
library.
EVENTS Roy is in the process of setting up the dates for
next years events. SAM is set for
August 1, 2010.
½ A Texaco postal event
October 17th.
Trip to Lakehurst to be
organized for some indoor flying.
Details to follow.

Shirts and hats are
still to being discussed.

SAM 12
:
SAM 12 members flew the ½ A Texaco
Postal Event on 14 OCT AT Straw.4-6 pm.
Temperature was 55 degrees with only
trace of drift. The grey sky appeared to have unlimited visibility. Although
without thermals, it was a great night to fly.
We knew we had little chance to max,
but were forced to best incoming weather with the closing date of 18 Oct
approaching. We may fly again to improve our scores if we get the weather.
One Bomber, one Dallaire, one Coronet.
All flew well with only minor eng run issues.
Can I say it again? ----"All
should have one of these birds in their coop" You can fly them in
competition at our field at least twice a year–" It’s the most fun you
will ever have being bored.
Subject:
1/2A Texaco Postal Results
Hey Roy,
Thanks to you and your team for helping make this
event popular in SAM. See attached results.
The Australians are coming on strong. They’re going
to be tough next year. Hope to see SAM 12 competing then.
Best Regards,

Miscellaneous :
Safety Item: Frequency interference from a “Buddy Box”
This Question was
posted on an internet discussion group, from
a source I know to be reliable:
“I have heard of a transmitter being used as a trainer box
transmitting a
signal while turned off. Today I witnessed the condition. While starting my
airplane a club member was preparing to fly with a buddy box. The non
primary transmitter (buddy box) was on my frequency and caused interference
even though it was turned off, luckily I hadn't gotten started yet and
noticed the interference. As a test we pulled the crystal from the buddy box
TX being used which stopped the interference.
The primary TX was on another frequency and the buddy box TX was on my
frequency but of a different brand than their primary TX.
If you would please explain how this is possible it may save someone's
airplane and possibly some hard feelings. I the future the club members will
just get both frequency clips, but how many more are out there. We were
lucky today.
Answer
IF the wrong buddy box cord is use that does not
"kill" the RF from the
trainer box, it is possible. Power is provided from the master box to the
trainer via the buddy cord, but a line is used to disable the RF from the
buddy box.
That answer is from a very reliable electronic technician
and owner of
an RC equipment repair facility.
