FIELD RULES FOR SOD FARM

In order for us to fly at the sod farm, we must adhere to the following

rules. Also use common sense and respect the property and the owner of the

sod farm.

1. Field is open only to members of the MVSA.

2. Be prepared to show your MVSA membership card to the landowner or

their employees while you are using the field.

3. The AMA number of the modeler will be displayed on the upper surface

of the right wing of each sailplane.

4. No power flying will be allowed except for electric powered planes.

5. Guests will be allowed to fly in the presence of an MVSA member only

if the guest has a verified AMA license. After two trips to the

field, the guest must join the MVSA, if he/she wishes to continue to

fly at the field.

6. We must park our vehicles only on PERUQUE CREEK RD, about 1/4 mile

from Highway 79.

7. There will be absolutely no driving onto the sod portion of the

field.

8. If you walk onto the sod and it is wet enough for your feet to leave

prints on the sod, there will be NO flying allowed.

9. When winches and Hi-starts are set up, it should be done in such a

manner that the launch area is near the edge of the field.

10. VERY important the sod is cut with a reel type mower, which means we

absolutely cannot leave anything laying on the field when we are

finished for the day. All winch turnarounds and Hi-start stakes

should be marked in some manner so that they can be located in case

of a line break. We cannot take the chance of not being able to

locate a turnaround after the line is pulled in. A stake left on the

field will damage a reel type mower.

11. Occasionally someone from the sod farm will be mowing or doing other

work on the field. They have priority. Do not interfere with their

work or expect them to work around you.

12. We must also be sure that only MEMBERS fly at the field. Also,

please remember that we do not pay for the use of the field and as

such are guests of the owners.

13. ALL 50 authorized frequencies will be utilized at the club field.

14. For operation at the club field, ALL transmitters will be required to

conform to the AMA guidelines for narrow band operation and display a

Gold sticker indicating narrow band performance.
