Meeting was called to order on time, a nice group of 22.
We now have 2 new members, James Korringa and Mark Tucker. Welcome to the club guys!
The K-Zoo air zoo event is coming up, looks like it's going to be a good time. Let's hope the weather holds, that way if you wish, you can set up your display outside. We could use some volunteers for the make – and – take. Please contact Nikolei if you can help.
The meeting was called to order by President Mark Schmaltz at 7:00 pm.
Twenty two members were present.
Minutes from the March, 2010 meeting were motioned for approval without change by Jim Peterson and seconded by Al Natali. Motion carried.
The financial status report was presented by Dan McLaren. The report was motioned for acceptance by Dan Osborn and seconded by Lee Frederickson. Motion carried.
KRAM is announcing our first annual giant scale fly-in, dubbed 'Sunset Salute'! Come and join us for a spectacular evening of big bird flying on one of the premier flying sites in Western Michigan. The event will take place on Wednesday July 14th, 2010 starting around 4pm. All mono planes with a 80" wingspan or greater, and biplanes 60" or greater are welcome to join the flightline. An entry fee of $5 will pay for a fantastic evening of flying and food. Registration is requested so we can plan for food. If you would like to attend, complete and mail the registration form on the PDF at the end of this page, or email your name, AMA # and # of planes you'll be bringing to lmlubbs@yahoo.com.
Keep appraised of details and changes via our event calendar here.
Speaking of which, it’s that time of year again, please do your best to take it easy on the road if you go flying.

Our club was featured in this months' AMA Model Aviation Distrct 7 report! Our successful first TAG event was mentioned, as well as the club improvement money we were awarded that allowed us to build our shelter. Thanks to Mr. Oberdieck for the writeup and to Mr. Osborn for sending in the info & pictures! Full-size article available for download at the bottom of this page.
Meeting was called to order on time, one guest, my chauffer as I am still recovering from some minor surgery.
Once again, many thanks to the Osborn’s for putting on a great winter banquet. It was nice to meet & talk with our District 7 VP Bill Oberdieck & his wife Joany. We have our event calendar filled in for the year. June is a busy month! We did our best not to conflict with other events in the area so we can attend some that we otherwise would have missed.
We are going to have a couple of low key "fun flys" this year, once again run by Dan Osborn. I almost have my replacement plane done after the last fun fly. (My fault)
We are looking into ways to reduce our field maintenance cost,s as Dan McLaren has pointed out, it is our biggest expense. Any new ideas would be welcomed.
We had a birthday at the meeting, Robert Williams. His actual age was a matter of discussion begun by Ed Fowler. I believe we settled on 71.
Happy Birthday Bob!
It’s been kinda mild out there lately, lots of flying still going on by the "Winter Crew". Wheels, skis or floats are working well at this time, so get your stuff out there!
Keep Your Wings Level,
Mark Schmaltz
