GLITCH BUSTERS

The Prez Sez

   As we come to a close of another year in our Club, sincere appreciation goes to the outgoing Board. Mark Weiss, Tony Albence, Ryan Jamison and Dick Stewart have faithfully fulfilled their obligations to our Club and have promoted the hobby and sport of model aviation. Treasurer Dick Stewart and Secretary Ryan Jamison will continue on the Board for the upcoming year. Jim Schlapfer has been elected as Vice-President.

   I'd like to take some time to thank Clark Woodring for his dedication to the Club. Clark agreed to accept the nomination of Vice-President. Our Club exists because there are those who have a genuine interest in the hobby and volunteer their services. We are very fortunate that our Club is filled with those who graciously volunteer their services throughout the year.

   To be continued...

Best,

Brian Pasternak, President

Demonstrations

Stan Michalski did a demonstration on different kinds of batteries.  He was explaining how great the electric world has become because of new technology.  The batteries mainly discussed were Lithium Ions and Lithium Polymers.  Stan discussed how the batteries are much better then Ni-cads not only by weight, but by the amp output also.  He explained how they are used and the proper charging techniques.  He also talked about what to do and what not to do with them, like over charging/overheating.  The new age of batteries is only getting better, Stan also brought up that a new battery, Lithium Sulfur, will be available soon and will be the new best thing on the market.  The batteries are very expensive, but the flying time is worth the money, with an average flight time of over 20 minutes per charge.  You can purchase these batteries from Thunder Power, and they come in many different sizes to fit whatever you want.
