President’s Report:

Sun Parlor R/C Flyers members, great friends;

This is my last report as your President, I will not make it too long as Bill is waiting

for it, lol.

These last 5 years as your President has not only fulfilled my expectations but

has allowed me to see the hobby thru everyone’s eyes and mind with all the great

ideas, support and intelligence in our club. I know with this experience I have

evolved with a neutral knowledge of listening to all members with their concerns

and issues presented. It has made more aware of the hobby as a whole team

experience as we share knowledge, experiences and mentorships. All I know is

that I have a larger family as a member of this club!

Ok, as some of you know, I have been also heavily involved with Transport

Canada (TC) as a member on the MAAC Transport Canada Committee for the last

year. As you may have heard new Regulations are coming down the pipe. They

are still in discussion mode, as MAAC has made numerous discussions with TC.

The first draft (gazette 1) was to be released in early spring 2017 but has been

moved to June 2017. It will be sent out has info and to permute discussions and

submissions to be received. Later in fall gazette 2 would be released and then full

Regulations to implement in 2018. All I can say right now is that we as modelers

are safe because we fly Recreational . Basically the changes are stated that under

250 grams nothing needed. If you belong to an organization (as Transport Canada

used MAAC as an example in their recent speeches) all should stay the same.

They big change is those that do not belong to an organization and are going to fly

in the air above 250 grams. There will be different weight classes for these with

specific regs. Also the biggest change is that we will all be classed under the UAV,

recreation wording will disappear. So multirotor, helicopter and fixed wing will be

called UAV’s.

So with this happening, MAAC foresees a large influx of members joining. Yes

there will those that will try and continue to test the system but that’s their

decision. All we can do is educate them as best we can, so our hobby is protected

and continues for indefinite. We need to embrace this new way of thinking as it

only takes one bad apple to take an entire group down. Multirotor is here to stay,

it’s only going to grow very fast, so please welcome this new technology because

it is bringing in members from all ages .

Ok, quick reminder that at our next meeting Dec 5th 2016 Monday at 7:30pm

@ the Windsor Flying Club, it is our Annual Swap/Auction event. We will have a

quick general meeting and then the event will follow. Dave Kool has volunteered

to be our Auctioneer. I know we will have lots as we usually do with these. If you




have a large item that you want to sell but not really want to drag in, bring in a

picture with full description of the item. So let’s go through all our unused items

and make some cash to buy other items that we can use from other members.

I do want to remind all that memberships are due on Jan 1 2017 if you are to

use our facilities. Please renew your MAAC if you have not already done so

before had in your Sunparlor RC Application form. Also please fill in the apps

prior to the meeting as an application form is included in this emitter.

See you all soon

Ramblings Off The Green:

This is my first attempt at editing the Emitter.

I want to thank Ron Harway for doing this all these years. I hope I can do as good

a job as he did.

First off I thought I would change the format a little bit, nothing too drastic

because what we had works fine. Just a few font changes with a refreshed look.

Secondly I will attempt to obtain the reports from the executive earlier than a

day before our monthly meetings. This way we can get our Emitter earlier and be

reminded of the up and coming meeting.

Ok, R/C stuff. The weather has been extraordinary for the month of November.

I’m sure the field has been getting a lot of use.

Indoor flying has also begun with light attendance, I’m sure do to the mild

weather. That will change very quickly once the cold sets in. If you haven’t tried it

you don’t know what you’re missing. A great chance to hone your flying skills,

with very little cost. We fly everything from 32” 3d foamies down to small micros

and flying contraptions of all types. Foam airplanes are a great way to experiment

with your own designs and configurations. I have also made up some markers and

gates for some FPV micro quad racing. This should turn out to be a blast.

We are getting inquiries about FPV quad flying from the general public. This may

turn out to be a draw for new members to join the club.




Remember the December meeting is our annual club swap meet. Bring all that

stuff you’re not using any more and lots of money to buy stuff you don’t need.

In closing please contact me on Ideas for after meeting activities. Anything you

think might be of interest to club members or you want to learn yourself.

Regards

Your editor and Chief
