As a member of the AMA Insurance Committee, I participated in redefining our insurance for the Park Pilot Program (PPP) for surface models—specifically cars and boats. Previously, a member needed a full Adult or Senior membership to operate cars and boats. Now we have added the coverage to the PPP.
What this means for clubs is that you can expand your membership by offering surface modelers membership in your club at the lower price point of the PPP. I would encourage all clubs to consider adding a track and pond if space allows. There are a lot of surface modelers who need a space to operate, and we have a strong network of clubs that can accommodate them. If you have any questions about this new option, please let me know.
The Delta Valley Modelers (DVM) invited me to attend the club’s Warbird Rally. It was a beautiful event put on by an active club. They had a great turnout with some really impressive models. Here are some of my favorites.
DVM Secretary Tim Cassidy with his P-51D Mustang.
Joe De Lateur, from the Hollister Wavemasters club, with his Phoenix Corsair in French Suez Canal Conflict markings.
DVM Treasurer Jose Macias with his beautiful F/A-18 in Blue Angels trim.
Chris Tabangcura, of Stockton CA, with his Hangar 9 Thunderbolt.
Eric Schellenberger and Tom Vessie with their Bob Violet Models Thunderbirds.
I had a great time with the DVM club and its guests. This is an active club that holds a number of events that I encourage you to attend in the future.
Until next month, I wish you all nothing but happy landings.
