Cobb County Radio Control Modelers Club

Rule II.4 states: “Rotary wing flight will take place in the cleared area south of the helicopter orange safety fence. However; helicopter pilots may fly in the north field provided that no fixed wing pilots are present for the purpose of flying.”

Due to a recent unpleasant situation at the CCRC field, the strict enforcement of rule II.4 is necessary.
It is unfortunate that we are forced to break out the rule book and put our foot down to ensure the proper order of use that the facility was designed for. I believe the rule is clear, concise and not open to interpretation.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Paul Fedorys
Vice President CCRC

The 2009 CCRC President and Vice President elections are now in progress. For logged in members, you should have a poll over on the right with the President and Vice President nominees and many by-laws revisions for you to vote on. If you are unsure of the revisions listed you can find the revisions here. Please take the time to read these revisions as some of them are very important and will determine how the club will operate in the future.
