Default RE: Destructive inspection...

The revamped and improved frequency board is up. Wow, now we have to do some major field maintenance to get the flying site up to par so the board doesn't look out of place. I am ready for the flaming arrows at the field, I know people aren't interested in change, but if we're going to use this frequency board it needs to be in good repair.

The numbers on the pins are small, only about 3/8" tall, but the numbers on the board remain a large 2-1/2" tall. We don't tell others what frequency we're on by the number on the pin we have anyway. My wife and I decided we would get the AMA charter updated at our field too, so we are able to have an event there once in a while...

...this is going to make the retired guys who fly there angry as they don't want anyone new coming around. They don't enjoy the company of new young people flying, only fly one at a time, and frown upon other people showing up on their day at the field (Thursday mornings). I let them have their day and avoid going out there on Thurs. mornings for now, but sometimes that is my day off for the week. One step at a time I suppose.

By the way, no one has signed up on the "work day" clip board now for a week and a half besides my wife and I. She's running the grill and I'm heading up bringing the tools and will be there doing work as well. Go figure...

*errors again...I'll have to upload those photos tomorrow when I can get to a PC.[]
