A Safety Message From our President:
The membership seems to be growing and that's a great thing. We all want to encourage new people to join the hobby. I would just like to take this time to remind everyone of the rules we must follow to avoid any mishaps and be able to keep our great place to fly.
1. Please call the Stone Mountain Park Police when you are the first one entering and the last one to leave. (the number is posted at the field)
2. Please be sure to use the frequency board. When arriving, before turning on your transmitter place your AMA card in the appropriate slot and take the frequncy pin.
2.4 Ghz guys, we are going to work on a system for you to ensure everyone at the field has a valid AMA card including visitors. We will let you know when it is in place. (The exposure of
one not having the proper insurance is too great a risk so please be mindfull of this.)
3. When taking off please announce the direction you are taking off and watch the pattern that others are flying for that direction. Remember
that direction may change we are at Stone Mountain where the wind changes direction frequently.
4. When flying please try to fly the pattern of takoff and landing.
5. When landing please announce your intentions, then when clear you may land. Please be mindfull others may be on the runway retrieving their plane so double check. Also if you are going onto the runway to retrieve your plane please call your intention so others will know you are out
there.
