NEW FREQUENCY PIN RULES

Please review president notes. Wil l be discussed at

General Meeting

The flying activities at the field are in

ful l swing & all three of our flying

venues are getting a good workout.

For the most part the field is in good shape. We

had a first pass at fixing our drainage issues that

has eroded portions of our main runway. Jim

Waterman was kind enough to lend his skil ls and

tractor digging a trench on the north & east side of

the runway. He could not finish due to the wet soil

and his backhoe sinking in the dirt. Thanks to Verl in

for pul l ing him out. We’l l be getting back in to do a

final cut on the drainage ditch sometime in

December. After that we’l l start working on cleaning

up the runway. We’re also working on rebuilding the

five fl ight stations that are getting a l ittle long in the

tooth.

This month we’l l be electing three officers positions

on our Board of Directors for EVA. We have one

candidate for each position, thankful ly, but would

l ike to see additional support with other candidates

to help provide the leadership for our club. The club

enjoys having a wonderful venue for our flying as

well as other activities throughout the year. Many

hours of meetings & planning go into the

maintenance and continuance of the club. I t would

be great to see some new faces step up and

contribute their time & talents. We have over 300

members and I know there are many talented folks

out there who could benefit the club. That being

said, I want to express my appreciation to the

current board for their support & hard work this past

year. We’ve accomplished many things and I know

the club members appreciate it.

Our annual Fry & Fly this year was a great success.

We had about 1 06 people participate and enjoyed

the great spread. Many thanks to Mickey Ohland

for frying and carving five turkeys as well as to al l

those who brought sides to add to the table. This

event seems to grow every year.

There have been some concerns at the field lately

of making sure only club members in good standing

(i .e. , pay your dues and maintain your AMA

membership) are actual ly flying. With our large

membership it is hard to know everyone and a few

members have voiced their concerns about this. In

the past we’ve had a “frequency control board” that

served two purposes. One was to make sure only

one person was on a live frequency band and the

other was to see who is flying and make sure they

are club members. The use of the 2.4 broadband

frequency, used by the majority of our club

members, negates the purpose of the frequency

control board, except for the few folks not flying on

2.4. So what the board has decided to do is that al l

members that fly on 2.4 wil l no longer be required to

place their membership badge on the frequency

control board and grab and display a frequency pin.

For members that fly on 2.4, we’re requiring that

you just wear your membership badge

conspicuously whenever you fly in any of the three

fl ight venues we have. For NON 2.4 flyers, we wil l

continue the existing practice of placing your badge

on the appropriate frequency you are using on the

frequency control board, and grabbing a pin and

displaying it. Hopeful ly this wil l help keep control of

who’s flying at our field as well as control l ing our

l iabi l ity and keep everyone safe.

Don’t forget our next club meeting on Wednesday,

December 5th at the usual place, Valley Del Orro.

See you on the fl ight l ineP

Florence, AZ - Nov 2012

TEAM EVA IMAC REPORTThe IMAC season ended just down the road at the Sun Lakes Radio Control Club on Nov 1 0 and 11

in Florence AZ. EVA fielded quite a team of pilots.

LINKAGES (Part 3 of 4) - Orthogonal l inkages

Now, lets move on to some not so good examples :-)

This is wrong, it wil l result in non linear movement of your control and a non linear effective servo

speed. I f this is for example the l inkage to your swash plate, you wil l end up with a very difficult to

control hel i since you introduced an "inverted exponential" in the control. This means that it wil l be very

difficult to hover the heli .

I f you ever want to introduce exponential , then make sure that it is such that the control output is less

around center, and more at the end of your stick movement. You can program such an exponential on

nowadays TX's if you l ike. Again, be very careful if you are dealing with CCPM.

Great Job John!!!Newsletter Featured Build

Ben Shereshaw 1 937 1 08” Champion from April 1 937 Flying Aces Magazine

Started with original FF plans and a Klarich short kit. Converted to 3-channel RC and electric

propulsion. Several changes were made from the original design such as reducing the dihedral from 24

to 1 5 degrees and making the wing two. Covering is HobbyKing lavender transparent and solid white.

Custom designed graphics from Call ie Graphics. Finished weight was 8 ½ lbs which resulted in a wing

loading of 1 2.8 oz/sq ft. Motor is an ExceedRC 5055 670Kv with 80A Turnigy Plush ESC on 4S

4000mah Lipo which gives 20mins of leisurely flying. Guidance is provided by Futaba 8UAP. As can be

seen in the airborne pics, it real ly glows in the overhead sunlight! ! A complete build log can be found on

EVA membership renewal for year

201 3 started October 1 st and ends

December 31 , 201 2. This time

frame coincides with AMA's renewal cycle. Both

AMA and EVA memberships must be current to

maintain flying privi leges at our field. To maintain

our field insurance the Arizona State Land Dept.

requires that is furnished by AMA, al l EVA

members must have a current membership in

AMA or MAAC.

This is the first time in club history that there is a

membership dues increase. 201 3 dues wil l be

$50.00 for adult members and $60.00 for family

membership renewal. New member application

or yearly renewal forms can be printed from the

EVA website, www.eastval leyaviators.org .

Using this form helps me keep the membership

record more accurate.

EVA financials are solid with $1 0,452.00 in cash

and $21 ,000.00 in the reserve fund. All bi l ls are

paid as of this date. In the next few years we

wil l have to replace the carpet, a big bil l , another

reason for the dues increase. Also, work wil l be

done on the main runway to replace dirt lost from

erosion over the past few years. Gravel needs to

be replace in the entrance gate area and on the

road in. Lots to do to maintain our field.

IMPORTANT!!

New membership applications are available at

the field or on l ine at www.eastval leyaviators.org

Encourage new people to apply for membership

in EVA, be sure the new person has a current

AMA number. I cannot make a club badge

unless I have his current AMA number. EVA does

not prorate membership dues at any time during

the year. Dues are only $50.00 for an individual,

$60.00 for a family ( spouse and children 1 7 or

younger ) per year.

Send renewals and applications to:

pay by credit card. Also, a verification form wil l

be sent to you by FAX or email .

Happy flying and smooth landings, lets al l enjoy

a great hobby.

Treasurer's ReportSubmitted By Verlin Boeder

Hello fel low EVA R/C modelers.

Just in case you haven't noticed, it's

been really nice out the past few

weeks with daytime temps in the high 70s and

mid 80s. With the return of our friends from

places much cooler, the field is getting busier

and busier--just the way we like it. During the

summer months, when there are very few

members flying, pi lots tend to get a l ittle lax on

safety so lets al l get a good start to the year and

be safe, leave the Summer "bad habits" behind.

A couple Saturdays ago EVA hosted a

successful pylon racing event. Lots of fun,

action, carnage, close racing, and excitement.

The final race consisted of six race-planes at

once. We did have one mid-air col l ision with

much damage done to both planes. The pilots

and callers were safe however. Helmets are

required to be worn by the pilots during the races

just in case parts fly into the pilot station. The

only injury was suffered by "Yours Truely" When

my hand brushed against the sharp-edged prop

cutting my finger, the engine wasn't even running

at the time.

I have written several times in safety articles

about propeller safety. One of the most frequent

mishaps I see or hear about comes from arming

electric planes in the pit area. Several weeks

ago a member, who is usually very safe, armed a

model to work on it while working on a pit table.

The motor started up cutting his hand and

several fingers. He bled for quite awhile and the

incident pretty much ruined his day. I f you feel

you must arm an airplane while in the pit area to

check the control surface movement etc. All you

have to do to make the plane safe to work on is

remove the prop! Easily done and safe.

Unti l next time, be safe not sorry. Safety is no

accident.
