Old Business
1. Swap Meet Mtg.
The meeting is scheduled for January 30, 2003, 7 p.m. @ Hummels in
Lenhartsville.
2. Lebanon Swap Meet
Update The tables (H3-8) have been secured. Larry
Smith, Walt Gladney, and the club are to each pay for (2) tables each.
3. TCWS Swap Meet
As of the January meeting, approximately 34% of the tables have been sold. There are a few new people this year so far. Most of the tables usually sell in the last (2)
weeks before the event.
4. Flyer Printing
(Swap Meet & Fun-Fly) Colasanti Printing performed the service for 2002. Either way, a commitment is needed from the
company.
5. Doylestown Swap
Meet Event occurs on February 22. This
is in conflict with the WRAM show in New York (February 21-23).
6. Berks County TV
Program Bud Wunder is the coordinator. We
may want to extend it to 1-hour to cover pictures of flying and the field. The setup is tentatively March 3 (7 or 7:30); we
will join with a sports program, and have their hosts narrate. Jack Hilbert is to assist in the coordination. We may want to include Larry Smith for the
helicopter side of R/C.
New Business
1. Bob Grim for Life
Membership Bob is the longest running member of the TCWS. He has helped secure fields for the club. He was also the first to build a big plane using a
weed-eater engine. His Life Membership is to
begin in 2004 and dues will be free as long as AMA is covered. A motion was made by Bud Wunder and seconded by
John McLaughlin.
2. Youngest Leader
Member Larry Smith is to create a committee that would provide suggestions for club
officer positions at the September meeting. This
would be a slate of nominees that would be willing to serve.
There was no other
new business at the time.

missing. George is to look into a mock repair
for the time being.

Helpful Hints
Ultracote Printing
Goldberg Ultracote
film covering has a paper backing that you can print on. Cut a 8.5 X 11 inch sheet, put it
in an inkjet printer, and print your design on the paper backing (don't use a laser
printer or anything that uses heat - it'll destroy your covering). This works well for
large lettering. Make sure your image is reversed, so that when it's printed on the
backing you can cut it out and it'll be correct when ironed on your plane. If you want to
use a piece of covering that's smaller, print the design onto paper first. Then carefully
tape the Ultracote to the paper over the design. Then run the whole thing through your
printer, and the design should print in the same place.
Antenna Holder
Here's a way to
attach a receiver antenna to the back of your plane after it exits the fuselage. Take a
short length of fuel tubing and make two cuts into it, dividing it into thirds, but make
the cuts go through the tubing only halfway. Then pin the tubing to the top of the plane's
fin. Thread the antenna through the tubing, lacing it through the cuts. This will keep the
antenna somewhat taught and out of the way of control surfaces.
