You can see their flyer here.

A note from Kirk Adams, FSA President...

Starting this year, the club is trying something new to indicate who is a member and who is not at the field. We are going to be issuing colored ribbons that must be attached to your transmitter. If you need additional ribbons for more transmitters, please see me at the field or come to a club meeting where either me or Dave Heinmuller can give you the extras you need. If you lose or damage a ribbon, replacements are available. You can attach the ribbon to the antenna, the carrying handle, or anywhere else you want that makes it visible. The ribbons come a bit long, but you can cut them shorter so they don't get in the way, and you can use tape or whatever you want to keep it from moving if you prefer. The ribbons are to show membership status only, and don't change the need to use the frequency board system. If you have other questions, let me know.

The transition of the duties of Membership Secretary from Earl Nester to Dave Heinmuller is almost complete. Dave now has the membership stuff and is getting things rolling. If you mailed in your membership form recently, there might be a bit of a delay in getting your membership card, since the form has to make its way from Earl to Dave.

If you haven't sent in your membership form yet for some reason, or if you have some printed 2010 forms, the new address for all memberships from now on is:

The new forms have been uploaded with the correct address at the bottom of the form. So, just download, fill out, enclose your check and send to Dave at the given address!

Single Adult Membership is now $75 for the year Family Membership is $85. The new member fee and the late renewal fee remain at $25.

Remember, you must be a member of the Academy of Model Aeronautics to be a member of Freestate Aeromodelers, no FSA Membership Card will be mailed to you until you are an AMA member.

Click on the link to download the 2010 FSA Membership Form. Print out the form, fill it out, and send to the address above, not the one at the bottom of the form.

Want to look at some great photos of FSA's Airplanes of the World? Photographer Jerry Turner took almost 400 pictures which can be see at his website.

From Kirk Adams...

We now have shirts and mugs with the FSA logo available at Cafe Press at at this link.

If you were at the last meeting, you saw a prototype shirt that I had made. Since then, I improved the image size and quality, so these shirts should look better that what I had at the meeting.

The 2010 club renewal form is now ready for download. I have made it available in both MS Word Format and in PDF Format.

I have also included the 2010 AMA Safety Code.
