Another Fine Day at Lake Poway – August 12, 2019

Curtis is now in the AMA Hall of Fame.

It’s from years of promoting the hobby locally and across the country. My involvement in the clubs and their events and the number of CDs I have done may not of hurt. Honestly it’s just from the level of involvement I have been over the years. They asked for list of what I have done and I could not remember all of it, but a couple of friends filled in the blanks. I made it into the HOF with all yes votes as I understand.   Curtis K.  (President of Poway Skimmers)

We generally fly every other Monday, except Holidays.  In case of a holiday, we will often pick the Monday before or after as the makeup day.  We will notify members via email of the makeup day.  So yes, this means we may fly consecutive Mondays on occasion.  Please check the calendar for scheduled flying days.  Our primary use of the lake is for RC aircraft although we do allow RC boats as a secondary usage.   Please see the rules regarding RC boating.  You are required to be both a current AMA member and Lake Poway Skimmers member to operate any RC aircraft or boat at the lake.

If the weather looks bad and we have to cancel a flying session, we will notify members via email by 11:00am Monday (day of).  We will also notify members if the following Monday will be a makeup day.

Note we are permitted by City of Poway to fly every Monday but currently this is too hard on our site setup workers.  We are working on adding more set up workers and plan to add flying dates to some months.   We are only committing flying every other Monday at the current time.

Also, I would like to remind members that we need to drain and dry our planes and boats before leaving.  This was requested to help prevent the spread of mussels (that are present even in Lake Poway) to other bodies of water.

Thanks,

Bob
