The meeting this month will be the second one at the field for 2007.  The road should be in good shape and hopefully it will be a good day for flying.  The starting time is 7:00PM and if you get there early you can get in some flying before the meeting.  Remember that you should be using your current membership card to mark your channel and guests should be using their AMA card to verify their AMA membership.

     In the interest of safety the map showing the locations of the nearest hospitals is being published this month.  The hospital in Wyoming, MN is the easiest to get to, just take Hwy 22 (Viking Blvd.) east across 35W and turn right on Hwy 61.  The hospital is about a block south of Hwy 22.  If you have to call 911 for an ambulance they are will want to know where the field is located.  The road where we turn off of Hwy 65 is 197th and the address of Central Wood Products 19801 NE Hwy 65, East Bethel.

The  GPS coordinates of the field are:
     45⁰    19'   44.4"  North Latitude
     93⁰    13'   52.2"  West Longitude

     The ACRC Pattern Contest was June 9 and the ACRC Fun-Scale Contest will be Sunday, July 15.  There will be trophies and a good selection of prizes.  We will also need some helpers, especially flight judges.  Get your airplanes ready and get out and practice.  If you want to help at the Fun Scale contest contact Matt Campson at (763) 315-0342.  Registration is at 9:00 AM and flying starts at 10:00 AM.  ACRC will also be hosting the Midwest Scalemasters Contest at our field on August 4.  A CD from the Scale Fliers of Minnesota will run the contest.  Our club will be taking care of the food and will get all of the profits.  If anyone would like to help at this contest please let the board know ASAP.

     THE NEXT MEETING WILL BE AT THE FIELD ON JUNE 21 AT 7:00 PM.  The summer meetings will be at the field through August.  There will be a fun-fly on Saturday June 23 at 10:00 AM.

It's better to be down here wishing you were up there, than up there wishing you were down here.

Hovering is for pilots who love to fly but have no place to go.

The only time you have too much fuel is when your plane is on fire.

Flying is the second greatest thrill known to man.  Landing is the first!

The probability of survival is indirectly related to the angle of arrival.

You know you've landed with the wheels up when it takes full power to taxi.

Helicopters can't really fly - they're just so ugly that the earth immediately repels them.

Things that do you no good in aviation:
   Altitude above you.     Runway behind you.
   Fuel in the can.            Half a second ago.
   The airspeed you don't have.

Flying is not dangerous; crashing is dangerous.

Good judgment comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgment.

Aviation is not so much a profession as it is a disease.

There are three simple rules for making a smooth landing.  Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.

It's best to keep the pointed end going forward as much as possible.

Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwind.

It's easy to make a small fortune in aviation.  You start with a large fortune.

A fool and his money are soon flying more airplane than he can handle.

Try to keep the number of your landings equal to the number of your takeoffs.
