The September meeting of the Tulsa Glue Dobbers was held on September
25, 2007 in the Martin Regional Library. President Randall Blackwood
called the meeting to order at 7:00. The minutes of the August meeting
were read and approved. Then Jack Rogers reported on the plans for a
club float fly event on September 29 at Lake Tenkiller followed the next
day by the 6th Annual RC Fly-In and Fish Fry at Tenkiller
Airpark. Several members mentioned that they planned to attend one or
both events that weekend, and Cliff Magee and Jim Ewers planned to bring
their full scale planes as well.
Randall
reported that the Broken Arrow Main Street Merchants Craft Fair was
attended by Randall, Grant Wilson, and Chris Raymer. Randall set up a
simulator for kids to enjoy while Grant brought his air force for static
display. |

Guy
Shipley announced that he has done a flyover of our field in Jim Ewers
light sport plane taking aerial photos to be passed on to webmaster Mike
Manring for posting on our club’s website.
In
club related AMA news, Tim Davie reported that he has sent an article
about the Heat Wave event to our District VIII representative for a
report in the AMA national magazine. We will wait to see if anything
comes of it. Randall announced that the AMA has a “Sign Three, Fly
Free” program. Any member who succeeds in recruiting three
new members to the AMA, gets a
free AMA membership for themselves. Also, Randall described the AMA
“Leadership Club Award” program. By meeting certain standards, we can
become a bronze, silver, or gold leadership club.

Randall reported that Ed Culbert is interested in brush hogging as much
of our land as possible in hopes of prepping it for an eventual haying
operation. We could reach an agreement in which he does the work for
the value of the hay, and we get our land mowed for free. The trial
mowing, however, will cost about $400, and members present approved the
expenditure.
Finally, the entertainment program for the evening was Tim Davie’s
presentation of videos from the full scale National Air Races in Reno.
Glue Dobbers member, Cliff Magee, placed seventh in the jet class with
his L-39, achieving speeds around 435 mph. The meeting adjourned at
8:20.
Doug Bromley,
Club Secretary
