Don’t Screw Up

If you need to screw in an Allen head servo screw and it won’t stay in place, you can use a little bit of a plastic bag to hold it in position. Just cut, or tear off a little piece of a plastic and double it up and press it into the screw. It should hold it long enough to get the screw started. Email

Plane Balance Rig-up

For a quick and easy way to balance your plane, drill small holes in the opposite side of the fuselage at the CG and insert a small eyebolt in each hole. Hang the plane from the ceiling using light weight chain with “S” hooks and you have a handy and secure way to quickly balance the plane without help. Once balanced, remove the eye bolts and cover the holes. Email

Cleanout of Concession Area Storage

Club members Cory Johnson, John Falkenbury, Jerry Gaidosik and Jonathan Gulick took advantage of the cold but sunny weather on Saturday January 23rd to cleanout the storage rooms we have access to in the restroom / concession building. Three pickup truck loads of material were removed and taken to the dump. Next to do is pressure wash the walls and floors and improve the sealing on the bottom of a door and on the bottom of two roll up/down doors to prevent critters and insects entering the spaces. Thanks Corey, John, Jerry and Jonathan.
