AMA News: District II-2007/03
AS I SIT DOWN to write this edition of our
District II column, it is December 31, 2006.
The local weather report for the central New
York area is calling for unusually warm
temperatures tomorrow—somewhere in the
mid-50s—and we’re all looking forward to
our traditional New Year’s Day gathering at
the field to get in that first flight of the year.
District II - 2006/02
New Year’s Day 2006 has come and gone
and for many of us in our district we’re now
deep into the indoor flying season. Indoor RC
modeling has grown exponentially in the last
several years, thanks in part to advancements
in technology.
President’s Perspective - 2009/11
Our League of Cities (LOC) outreach
program will be complete for the
year by the time this issue of MA
reaches you. LOC is an organization
composed of officials from municipalities and
counties within the state. Most, if not all, states
have their own LOC.
District II Report - 2004/10
THE ROCKLAND COUNTY Radio
Control Club (RCRC) of New York held its
second annual indoor air show and
exhibition at the Pascack Community
Center. RCRC member Al Betancourt
organized this event that included flying
demonstrations, a static display, and a Delta
Dart building program for the kids. The Dart
program culminated in an “all up, last
down” competition of nearly 60 Delta Darts
taking flight in the community center
gymnasium.
President’s Perspective - 2011/03
I’m sure the cover of this month’s MA got
your attention. That is the intent. The
question on the cover is reasonable for
model aviation enthusiasts to ask. The small
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS)
regulatory process continues to move forward,
and in a few short months the FAA will release
its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)
detailing the proposed rule and opening the
subject for public comment.
