From Bob Bauer 7/7/8
At a meeting at Waymer Flying Field on July 1, 2008, with representatives of
Parks & Rec, LUESA and the grading contractor, it was determined to replace the
pebbles with highway material which will meet requirements for handicap access.
Since this is on an old landfill without a proper cap as now required,
LUESA and the contractor were concerned about vehicular traffic out to the
shelter. They are concerned that potholes and or settling
will develop from the weight of vehicles.
We were able to assure LUESA that the amount of traffic is very small - almost
non existent during the week and very moderate on the weekends.
Additionally that it was absolutely necessary to have the ability to load
and unload equipment at the shelter and circles. With the
concurrence of Parks & Rec and LUESA it was agreed that the pathway maybe used
by our vehicles, but only for loading and unloading - no
parking. Further that the condition of the pathway will be
monitored and re-inspected in 6 months. Therefore, if you see
any deterioration in the pathway due to settling or potholes,
please do not use it and report it to me or Parks & Rec.

We now have Three flight tables at Lowes. One table was built and and donated to
FAPA by Jim Galuska several years ago, and was moved from Waymer to Lowes at his
request.
Two more tables were built this week by Larry Moore and Jim Galuska, and were
moved to Lowes. The funding for the new tables was approved at the May 3rd club
meeting.
The Flying Aces Pilot Association is a Radio
Controlled Aircraft Club located in the Charlotte North Carolina area. We are
chartered through the Academy of Model Aeronautics. We are a self-supporting,
non-profit organization whose purpose is to enjoy the fellowship of other R/C
pilots and to promote model aviation as a hobby and recreation activity within
our community. We are an organization open to anyone interested in model
aviation. We work with local governments, zoning boards, and parks departments
to promote interest in model aviation and to preserve the flying areas that we
are using.
We would like to extend an invitation to you to visit us at our flying fields or
at any flying activity that we may be attending. We offer experienced flight
instruction, planned activities, the use of a club trainer aircraft, and above
all else, people to talk to who enjoy the same hobby.
We fly at
a private field located at the Lowe's motor speedway and a public field located at Waymer
field in Huntersville.
