I'll have some control line models... and beer brewing equipment!Wasn't bringing them to fly there, they're just tagging along on a relocation sortof event. It's an ugly old thing (a modified Sig Banshee built in '91 and'05) but it'll do the entire PAMPA stunt pattern easily. Also will have a CarlGoldberg Buster built for Foxberg racing that I use as a trainer.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: RC

Not sure how the AMA or the FAA might look at those activities. The little parkfliers are one thing, and could probably be safely confined to a corner of thefield, but hot little nitro burners are probably another issue. If it is just a show and tell... I'll bring some photos. As for flying... a littlerisky given the other activities that will be going on.--------Mark ChouinardWings, Center Section and Empannage and Fuse framed up - Working on Landing GearRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: RC

It's an uncontrolled airfield, so the FAA shouldn't care. I"ve flown at uncontrolled(and closed controlled) fields a lot over the years. The AMA has no jurisdictionwhatsoever. Control line uses a hemisphere 120 feet in diameter. Radio control has a reasonablechance of a fly away whether it's electric or gas, so Mark is right, somewhatrisky. However, there's times when no planes are airborne. The main issuewould be to coordinate any RC activity to prevent interference.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: RC

Jurisdiction is not the issue... it is a matter of safety and liability (insurancerequirements). If you have any history at all with the AMA, you would knowwhere I am coming from. There are ways to do this, but given the size of thefield, the number people/aircraft and the activities, it might be a little sketchyto meed certain requirements. Again, little park fliers probably wouldnot even be noticed by most, but before everyone packs up and hauls their 100+mph3D stunt fliers out to corn country, we might need to think about this fora minute. As for the FAA, you are correct that it is an uncontrolled field, but if somethingwere to happen that resulted in the loss of life or property (yes, it hashappened with R/C), then I'm sure there would be agencies descending on the fieldto sort things out. Call me a worry wart... just making a few observations.--------Mark ChouinardWings, Center Section and Empannage and Fuse framed up - Working on Landing GearRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: RC

We, all Pietenpol enthusiasts, builders, flyers, visitors, etc., are guests of EAA Chapter 431, who own the airport. As guests, we should always be thankful the chapter allows the Pietenpol Association to have the Fly In every year.In all the years I've been attending,I don't recall any model airplanes being flown during the Fly In.Model airplanes may be an individuals passion, but the vast majority who attend every year come to see our Pietenpol friends, admire their airplane, enjoy the camaraderie and go away having had an enjoyable time. We do not go to see model airplanes.look forward to seeing you all at BrodheadP. F. BeckBarnwell, S. C.ps.... when you pick up your name tags, please give Dee and Doc a big thank you for all they do in putting out an excellent newsletter________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 29 Jun 2012 19:00:22 -0400Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: re:Pietenpol fly In at Brodhead
