Status: offline 		The Thistledown Flyers came into being thanks primarily to a gentleman named Julian Heitman, Jr. (known as Corky to his family, friends and colleagues). Corky had been flying models since the early 1950's and around 1968, with the advent of proportional radio, found there was a need for people to have a place to fly. He decided that Thistledown Farms, his family's farm in Napoleon, Ohio, would be an ideal location. The club was chartered as Chapter 813 of the AMA in May of 1973.

Since then, the club's field has been enlarged three times. It originally started with what would be considered a very small 220' wide x 260' deep field. Our size at the present time is around 700' wide x 400' deep, and it's a great place to call home if you're an avid flyer.

Many great events have happened over the years, but none as exciting as Thistledown Flyers' involvement in 1980 with the creation of the AMA's largest special interest group, the International Miniature Aircraft Association (IMAA). The club was chartered as Chapter 2 of the IMAA.

Thistledown Flyers is open to all types of flying, not just big airplanes. From rubber powered on up, .049, rocketry, control line, gliders or kites—anything a person wants that is in the model aviation hobby—are all welcome at our field.

Thistledown Flyers has put on many AMA sanctioned events from 1973 to the present time. For more than two decades we put on our show, the IMAA Chapter 2 Thistledown Flyers Big Fly-in, each year in early September.

Thistledown Flyers is one of the oldest clubs in northwest Ohio to remain in the same location throughout its existence. The community has been supportive of the Thistledown Flyers and recognizes us as a learning facility for young & old alike. We do our best to remain very community minded. Over the past few years the club has grown significantly and generally maintains 30 - 50 members

This is a great thread. A lot of you are obviously very proud of your clubs and eager to share your club experience with the rest of us.

I wish I was too.

We do have a great flying site. We used to have a fine club.

I convinced the Club to purchase web space in February of this year with the promise that I would build and maintain it. I had no experience with making a web page but everyone that looks at it says it turned out fine. I've learned a lot about what to do, and what not to do in the process and all these club sights give me more ideas for a face lift next season.

BTW, that's me pretending to start my Gee Bee.

Ok... here is our new club website. http://www.tuffclub.net/ We are a brand new club and we are growing at a very fast pace. The new club is comprised of some real enthusiasts that love to fly and build models. Our rules are simple! Since we are a chartered club the AMA SC is it...nothing else. So far we haven't found a need for anymore rules since the AMA has covered concerns of safety with the safety code. We only have a couple of "club meetings" a year but we get together a lot and fly since everyone is an enthusiast. Every member has an equal voice since all issues are shared via email or snail mail and voting takes place the same way. It was very important to all of us that every effort was made to insure that a situation where a few like minded could not just seize control of the club as too often is the case at other clubs.

So far, the club has had some excellent events and ideas are flowing freely. Our mode of operation allows any club member to put together any event they desire…all they have to do is come up with the idea and get the support they need and go forward…simple!

We have two outstanding primary flying sites. One is a grass field in a city park and a brand new paved site at a youth ministry organization ranch that has been very cordial to the club. We have numerous other flying sites that are excellent also and we meet regularly to fly at those often.

We have been fortunate to see first hand the effects of a club that is not typical of most clubs’ political BS. We have accomplished a lot so far and have more to come. Most of the guys in the club were like most others, in that they had to conform to some preset ideology or control. Now, I hope after seeing what is possible by not limiting themselves, as is most usually is the case with most clubs, we can go on to be become one of the greatest clubs in history.

Our goal is to network with as many enthusiasts as possible and have as many flying sites as possible. If you think you would like to be a member the T.U.F.F. club, no matter where you are located, we would love to have you. Our dues are by donation right now and we hope to maintain that type of funding means forever but of course cannot make guarantees. Our membership year runs concurrent with AMA’s membership interval.

So…

I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to join the T.U.F.F. club. If interested just send AMA number and complete contact information including email if possible to “tuff_cub <at> yahoo.com” and we will be glad to have you. Either way you are invited to come fly with us anytime and if you invite us we would love to come fly with you.


Is that different or what?

Thanks, Mark

PS Abel, I would really like to hear more about your club. Sounds similar to another I belonged.

Mark-

I think you pretty much pegged it as the antithesis of your club, which sounds just terrific to me.
Your club is new, ours has been (or was) around since the mid-80's. It used to resemble yours in the most meaningful ways. Your recognition that "It was very important to all of us that every effort was made to insure that a situation where a few like minded could not just seize control of the club..." smacks of "deja vu all over again." Whatever effort we made in that regard was in hindsight inadequate, because we quietly ceded to "the few like-minded," not even realizing that it was happening. What used to be our club is now more akin to a day camp for senile citizens, overseen by THE BOARD. The primary objective assumed by THE BOARD, if there is a purpose other than having control in and of itself, appears to be to protect the tenancy at the flying site from the foibles of the village idiots that used be a club, and keep us from hurting ourselves. If one of the VI's hallucinates about having a voice in something of group concern, the reply, if any is rendered, translates in substance to "Mommy says NO. Quit bothering Mommy."

No need to go on - you obviously know this tragicomedy.

The salvation is that we do have a great place to fly, and that for me makes for a net positive situation. After all, without that there wouldn't have been a club anyway.

Abel
