AMA - ARC
This was a recent e-mail from AMA...
Dear AMA Member:
For the past 12 months, the Academy of Model Aeronautics has taken a proactive role in representing our membership’s model aviation interests and protecting your flying rights by working closely with the FAA on an Aircraft Rules Committee (ARC). The purpose of the ARC was to draft recommendations for regulatory policy for the operation of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) in the National Airspace System (NAS).
This week the FAA released the ARC recommendations to the public, and our goal is to keep our membership informed on the recommendations and progress. Please understand these ARC recommendations are just that, proposed recommendations and not yet policy or Federal regulation.
To help keep our membership informed on rulemaking process and the latest developments, we have created a special section on the AMA Web site for you. Plus, you will be able to submit questions and comments. While there may be other sources of ARC information available to you, the only true source for accurate information is Model Aviation and AMA Web site.

Here's hoping the weather clears and everyone has a fun and safe event!
Please contact Mark to clean up the For Sale items in the Talespinner and on the website!
Most of this stuff has to be gone by now and I'm sure you don't want unnecessary phone calls!
The updated roster has been posted in the Members Only section.

Talespinner is going green!
The June Talespinner is now online and for many it's also in your e-mail.
It was suggested that we use e-mail as a distribution method so we trying it out. If you want the newsletter via e-mail be sure to drop me a note (via e-mail so I get your address!) Also be sure to let Lou Omansky know if you no longer want a hard copy mailed to you.
If you received it in your e-mail but don't want it that way let me know that too. I'll take you off the distro.
This e-mail group will be used only for distribution of the newsletter. NO SPAM! (At least not from me!)
I'm still working through a few distribution problems, mostly dead e-mail addresses but I hope to have everything worked out for the June edition.

Training:
Beyond "Bank and Yank"
For those in the rut of rolling and applying elevator (aka;bank and yank) learn a few "turn around" maneuvers. Basic "Procedure Turns" and other simple moves (Shark's Tooth, Immelman, Half Cuban 8 and Half Reverse Cuban 8) will be covered. Date TBD so let me know your interest.
We did quite a few of these type sessions last year at the Spiegel field. It is a little better since you don't have the hill as an issue on the left like at Baugher's. Again let me know your needs and the Instructor Staff will do our best to oblige.
