July’s business meeting will be held at the Chatfield Aerodrome, bring something to fly in lieu of a program!
President’s Message - July, 2016
Its hot! But not too hot to fly in the evening at the next
Jeffco Aeromodlers regular meeting scheduled to be at
the aerodrome on July 6. Bring your planes to show and
tell. A few of us were out last night and wow, how
beautiful it was. A perfect time to meet and fly.
June is almost over, Mars and Jupiter are high in the sky
at night and Warbirds is over. A great event. The
Welcome New Jefco Aeromod’lers R/C Club

weather was perfect and there was a wide variety of
pilots and planes. Even pictures of "foamy" Warbirds
made it on to the website. I think what impressed me
the most was the level of support by volunteers like
Betty and Leo serving food. Be sure to thank Lora for her
devotion to Warbirds.
Last weekend, Jeffco Aeromodlers participated at a BSA
Cub Scout event, Twilight Day Camp at deKoevend Park
in Littleton. I want to thank Bud Glass, Bruce Robson,
Paul Walker, Paul McIntosh and Kevin Furman for their
participation. As an AMA chartered club, part of our duty
is to be involved in the community. If you know of other
ways we can involve our selves with youth, please let me
know and be ready to volunteer. I will back you 100%.
Jim Tiller, AMA VP joined us at Warbirds this year. He
held a District Meeting Saturday afternoon. We discussed
the FAA involvement with our hobby but more
importantly the need to keep up with the changes in the
hobby. His point was to embrace FPV, Quad Racing and
other activities that will grow the club and widen its
influence. If you have an interest (and I know you do) in
FPV, Quad Racing and Night Flying (I like this one) let
me or anyone on the board know.
Last, we have events in July and August that are most
exciting. In July, our annual Chatfield Ranger Fun Fly.
I’ve asked Mike Boyer to help in this regard, so if you
want help, contact Mike or myself. This event is held on
Wednesday, July 13. Also, do not forget the AMA
sanctioned PYLON races at the Aerodrome in August.
More about this later.
See you at the meeting. Good Flying!

June 1st, 2016 Jefco Aeromod’lers R/C Club Business Meeting Minutes
COMMITTEE REPORTS:
Due to unforeseen/unknown circumstances, the
Sheridan School District was not available to unlock
doors to the Alice Terry Elementary School cafeteria for
our meeting. Therefore, an informal meeting was held
outdoors in the nearby parking lot. Luckily, it was a
nice early summer evening.
The meeting was called to order by President
Peter Thompson at 7:14 PM in the Alice Terry
Elementary School back parking lot. There were
28 attendees. No guests were present.
President’s Comments:
Theft at Flying Field – In May, three of the club lawn
mowers and a snow blower were stolen from the shed
area at the flying field. Theft report was filed with the
park.
Pre-Warbirds Field Clean Up – Scheduled for this
Saturday, June 4 at 8am, volunteers and mowers are
needed. Please consider bringing your own mower. If
you have a mower and are willing to donate it for the
day for club use, let us know.
Take Flight with the Cub Scouts – The club has been
invited to participate in this day camp experience for
young Scouts. Club would have a table to promote RC,
will be able to do demo flying, etc. This is a great
addition to their themed “Take Flight” camp
experience. Camp will take place at deKoevend Park in
Littleton, June 16-18. As a Leader Member AMA club,
the Jefco Aeromod’lers need to continue to do
community outreach and education. This will also be a
great opportunity to promote the hobby to the younger
generation. If you are interested in participating,
please contact Bud Glass at [email protected]
about specific details.
PROGRAM:
Doug Knowlton’s Scale Weathering Presentation – Due
to no meeting space (with electricity and a video

presentation will be postponed to August or perhaps

Mile-High Challenge RC Pylon Race – August 6-7,
2016 Event Coordinator Hank Diepenbroek reported
that 27 pilots have committed with more anticipated. He
reviewed some of the volunteer opportunities that are
needed. More info on those opportunities will be
available soon.
OLD/UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
July Club Meeting – July 6 – NOTE – MEETING WILL
TAKE PLACE AT THE FLYING FIELD – 6:30PM! Meeting
will include a BRIEF business meeting, Show & Tell and
then Electric Fly. Bring your electrics to fly!! Bring your
own dinner or eat before. Meeting is RAIN OR SHINE.
Taxiway Construction & Project Management – President
Thompson has asked the LRPC to get an additional third
proposal from a concrete company to do taxiway
additions.
NEW BUSINESS:
Equipment Storage Container - Due to the recent theft of
club equipment, there is now an immediate need to
figure out secure storage in the future. Bud Glass
presented a concept to invest in a 8’ x 8’ x 20’ metal
storage container with approx. cost of $3500. The park
would like to see what the club has in mind, then they
can approve or not. There are two options: (1) situate
the container next to the shed or (2) move the container
down a bit from the shed and create a truss roof over it.
Container could be delivered within a few days after
purchase. Club will purchase/secure new mowers/
equipment after the storage container situation is
resolved. The Board met prior to this meeting and
recommended moving forward with Bud’s storage
container concept pending club membership approval.
There was a question regarding insurance. Club member
and State Farm agent Bruce Riley commented that
insuring property dealing with anything aviation-related
is very difficult to procure.
Bruce Robson made a motion to authorize expenditure
of up to $4000 for a metal storage container, contingent
on park approval. Kevin Furman seconded the motion.
All were in favor. Motion carried.
Start-Up Safety Bench Additions – The Board is
accepting design submissions for new start-up safety
benches to accommodate gas/glow/electric aircraft.
There was discussion about whether these new benches
would be in addition to the existing or replacements.
President Thompson stated it was to be determined.
There was discussion about the condition of the existing
benches and most are still stout and in good shape.
July Ranger Fun Fly – President Thompson will have a
signup sheet available soon.
BREAK: A special thank you to Brad Weissenfels for
bringing donuts and cookies for the break – in the
parking lot! So we did “Donuts in the Parking
Lot”….haha.
SHOW & TELL: Peter Thompson and Terry Hock both
had Show & Tell items.
DRAWING: A special thank you to Dave Fagan for
coordinating the drawing in Dave Hock’s absence.
MOTION to ADJOURN: Kevin Furman made a motion
to adjourn the meeting. Lora Knowlton seconded the
motion. All were in favor of the motion. Motion carried.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:30pm.
Respectfully submitted,

June 15th 2016 Jefco Aeromod’lers R/C Club Board Meeting Minutes
Meeting was called to order at 7:00 PM by President Peter Thompson.

Guests Chuck Beckey and Larry Bickel
representing the Long Range Planning Committee
(LRPC) addressed the Board. At the June general
meeting, President Thompson had asked the LRPC to get
a third bid for the new taxiway construction project.
Chuck and Larry brought in four bids for concrete
flatwork for the new taxiway. The bids ranged from
$5800.00 to $8750.00. The LRPC’s coversheet for the
bids states that “All bids are to spread the dirt on site,
compact the base, install 4”, 4000 PSI minimum, fiber
reinforced concrete with 10’ control joints and broom
finish, one year warranty.” The winning contractor is
required to provide a certificate of insurance. The LRPC
further recommended that the Board award the bid to
E&L Flatwork and have the LRPC manage the project
with a $600.00 contingency fund with authorization to
approve any change orders that would fall within the
contingency.
Many questions followed concerning the scope of the
work, which Chuck and Larry fielded well. After Chuck
and Larry left, the Board had a very long discussion
about the project. The consensus of the Board was to
award the bid to E&L Flatwork as recommended by the
LRPC. The Board also discussed the recommendation of
having the LRPC manage the project. The Board came to
no conclusion on this item.
During the discussion it became apparent that there
were many questions concerning the grade at the infield
where the taxiway would be installed. It was decided
that Larry Fagan and Kevin Furman would look into
mapping the infield grade. Bud Glass stated he thought
his son had access to a contractor’s level and would
check that out.
President’s Comments:
• Warbirds Over Denver: President Thompson stated
that he thought that this year’s Warbirds Over Denver
was a great event. Several positive statements about
the event were made by other members of the Board.
• Starting Benches: President Thompson asked if
anyone had had an opportunity to look over the
starting bench made by Lanny Waguespack. Several of
the Board members had, and the general consensus
was it was very stable as well as being attractive and
quite usable.
Secretary’s Report: Kevin Furman motioned to accept
the May Board meeting minutes published in the June
newsletter. The motion was seconded by Bud Glass and
carried.

Larry Fagan wanted to thank Lora Knowlton for taking
the May Board meeting minutes in his absence and
getting them to Michael Peterson. He also wanted to
thank Michael for shoehorning them into the newsletter
and getting it published before the deadline.
Treasurer’s Report: Lora Knowlton was absent, so no
report.
Committee Reports:
• Membership Report: Lora Knowlton was absent, so
no report.
• Field Maintenance & Runways: President
Thompson stated that Bob Willdigg arranged for SealTec to crack fill the runways prior to Warbirds Over
Denver.
• Safety: Steve Rosselot reported no issues. President
Thompson was appreciative of having the fire carts out
and ready during the Warbirds Over Denver event.
Having a spotter for overflights of the roadway during
future Warbirds events was discussed.
• Flight Instruction / Training: Peter Thompson
reported that Rob Brandi, longtime club member and
Student Training Committee Chair recently passed
away. New instructors and a committee chair will be
discussed at a future meeting.
• Events:
º President Thompson stated that we need to start
focusing on the Pylon Racing event coming up in
August, and that we need to get volunteers
scheduled.
º The “Take Flight” district Cub Scout Twilight Camp is
this coming Saturday, and club members will be
making demo flights during the lunch and dinner
hours.
º The Ranger Fun Fly is scheduled for July 13th.
President Thompson would also like to invite the
Rangers to our July general meeting which will take
place at the aerodrome.
• Programming:
º There will be a fly-in for the July general meeting at
the aerodrome. The fly-in starts at 5:00 with a meet
and greet at 6:30 and the business meeting from
7:00 - 8:00. There will be a show and tell and a
drawing as usual.

June 15th 2016 Jefco Aeromod’lers R/C Club Board Meeting Minutes (Con’t)
• Programming (Con’t):
º Larry Fagan is to contact Doug Knowlton about
presenting his originally planned June program at
the August general meeting.
º It was decided that future Board meetings will start
at 6:30 PM.
Old/Unfinished Business:
• Park Liaison discussion: It was discussed that
according to Article 7-1-I of the bylaws the LRPC is
re s p o n s i b l e fo r Pa r k L i a i s o n w i t h t h e Pa r k
Management.
• Club member only flying: This is addressed in the
Park agreement. It will be revisited with the Park
management.
• Taxiway construction, next steps: This was
addressed at the beginning of the meeting. See
“Guests Chuck Beckey and Larry Bickel . . .” at the
beginning of the minutes.
New Business:
• Startup Benches: This was addressed in the
president’s comments. During the discussion that
followed, it was pointed out that the Warbirds Over
Denver had 70+ pilots with 135+ airplanes using the
existing startup benches without a waiting line forming
up. It has been observed that many electric flyers use
the tables under the pavilion to set up their airplanes,
which is unsatisfactory since this is part of the
spectator area. The idea was advanced that maybe we
need electric arming tables to discourage setting up
and running electric models in the spectator area.
• Theft discussion, Container vs. Lawn Service?:
Bud Glass got 4 bids to have a lawn service mow and
trim the immediate area north of the spectator area.
This would mean we would not have to replace the
stolen equipment and it would spread most of the
expense and labor of field mowing and trimming out
amongst all the membership. Bud will present a
proposal to the membership at the July general
meeting.
• Community Involvement: Peter Thompson cited
the recent success hosting the Cub Scouts. He
suggested possibly forming a committee to perform
this function.
• Grass Landing Strip: Glenn Lee proposed that we
consider enhancing our airfield by grading a grass
landing strip along the northwest side of the E-W
runway and along the southeast side of the northsouth runway. This would facilitate models that are
more suited to grass take-offs and landings and would
further reduce damage to any planes that run off the
runway or are unable to make it back to the runway.
He suggests that a committee consisting of interested
pilots be formed to determine the best way to pursue
this project. Further discussion will follow at future
meetings.
Motion to Adjourn: A motion to adjourn was made by
Steve Rosselot and was seconded by Art Wilson. The
motion carried at 9:02 P.M.
Respectfully submitted, Larry Fagan, Secretary.
