“Field Noise Limit: No model aircraft shall be flown that generates more than 96-dB(A) sound level on the ground @ full throttle. Aircraft sound level is to be measured at 25 feet distance, over grass surface (runway), with the meter in line with the prop and 24 inches above ground level. The meter settings shall be “A” weighting scale and “Slow” response. Measurements shall be taken both upwind and downwind from the model and averaged for the official result.”
Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month, 7:00 PM at the Graham Library unless otherwise announced in the Newsletter.
The membership voted at the April meeting to not meet during
the summer months (May, June, July, August) because we have no business
decisions to consider for the foreseeable future! The September meeting is
scheduled at the field as Hot dogs-socializer-flying
event with the club providing the food & drink at Copperhead field. The
date is planned for Saturday, September 19.
Directions to the Library:
From I- 85/I-40 take Exit 147 North toward the courthouse. The library is 0.5 mile from I- 85 on the left. It is also just past a very yellow building. Exit 147 is also Route 87.
The annual dues at Barks are $75 per year. There is a
provision for “Junior Memberships” for those still in school who
are sponsored by a full member for $1 per year. There a few “Life Memberships”
that have been awarded by the membership for outstanding service to the
club. Memberships that have not renewed at the specified time are treated
as new memberships and must include $25 initiation fee. Junior Memberships are
not subject to the initiation fee. There is no provision for a partial year
membership.

Bark's is in the process of including frequency pins for Spread Spectrum transmitters. When they are in place at the flying sites they must be used just as the numbered channels.
