1 Safety is Your Job Ocean County Modelers, Inc. By-Lines & Fly-Lines P.O. Box 569, Lakehurst, NJ May 2015 by Dave Collea FPV and Quads I t seems the two hottest buzz words in RC right now seem to be FPV and quads (no, I won t say drones). There has been a growing interest among club members with these two areas of our hobby. A few of us have combined the two and are starting to pylon race PFV quads at the field. I ll take a step back and give a brief summary of the two words for folks who may not know FPV stands for First Person View. It s essentially what you would see if you were piloting the craft. FPV in the past has been used to frame up pictures for aerial photographers and used in RC planes to remotely pilot the craft up to several miles away in some cases. FPV, like any other part of the hobby, can be relatively inexpensive to downright costly depending on how deep you want to dive. A typical FPV setup consists of a pair of video goggles or a monitor, video receiver (vrx), video transmitter (vtx) and a camera. Most FPV setups these days are using 1.3ghz and 5.8ghz to transmit as to not interfere with the typical 2.4ghz radios that most are now using for their aircraft. Quads are short for quad rotor copters or multi rotor copters. Typical setups are quadcopter (4 motors), hexacopter (6 motors) and octocopter (8 motors). Quads are the most popular due to their smaller size and lower price point. However, quadcopters range from a 2 $30 quad to the $3,000 full aerial photography setup. Again, it is all about how deep you dive. A few of us have combined the two and are starting to pylon race FPV quads at the field. We are still working out the details on equipment, course layout and rules but all are welcome to join in on the fun. The only negative we are seeing right now is with the 5.8ghz video setup. It is limited to 8 channels so we have to implement some good channel management like the days of 72mhz. Other than that it has been a world of fun combining racing and flying.

Making your Plane Look like New Ever wonder what to do about those small scratches, dings, and surface defects on your aircraft? Adding wood putty just gives you a noticeable line around the patch because it is hard to feather edge. Here is an easy hint to provide an easily sandable base to clean up your aircraft lines. Mix Lightweight Spackle (The container weighs more than the spackle!) and Durham s Water Putty (available at most hardware stores) in a 1:1 ratio. Dilute with water until it flows like paint. Brush a liberal coat all over the foam or wood surface, making sure that the whole surface is covered and all holes are filled. Allow to dry completely. Sand the surface with 330 grit sand paper. Follow with 400 grit sand paper for a smooth finish. Vacuum all dust and wipe with a moist cloth. Make sure that the surface is dry before painting. For foam application, apply a coat of Latex Primer (available at your local hardware store). Allow to dry for 24 hours before covering with your choice of paint or sealer. Don t forget when painting, multiple thin coats are better than one thick coat. This tip came from a finishing product (it replaces fiberglass on airframes.) Most wood putties are harder than balsa, resulting in reducing the balsa before the putty. It is easy to finish out and sands evenly to balsa and is light as a feather.

If you don t charge your radios the night before, the next day will be beautiful flying weather.
3 Ocean County Modelers Inc. Page 3 Minutes of OCM Meeting on April 22, 2015 P resident Ed Hollema called the meeting to order at 7:00 pm after the Pledge of Allegiance. There were approximately 26 members present including the four officers. Secretary Bill Martin called for comments or corrections to the minutes of the March meeting that were ed and published in the newsletter. The Minutes were accepted as presented, after the normal motion, second, and vote process. Membership remains at 108 including seven Junior memberships. Treasurer Tom Moore reported that expenses for the month of April were significant with a little more than $ spent on the recent field improvements and funding the $1, for the two OCM Jackson High School Scholarships. Tom advised members that the financial statement is available at the Officer s table for those members who wish to review it. Tony Riccio thanked everyone who turned out for the work weekend. Members replaced the flight line screening, painted the pit fence, did some field repairs, and built three of the planned six new starter benches. Ed Hollema said that they hope to get the field rolled within the next two weeks. That is expected to take place on a Sunday morning and an announcement will be put up on the website. Tony also advised members that regular lawn maintenance was being planned for Tuesday and Friday mornings. Volunteers are needed to pitch in. Anyone available would be greatly appreciated. The Safety Report began with Tony reminding everyone to check their control surfaces closely. It is not enough to just see them move, but make sure that they are both moving in the right direction and that the throws are at their proper limits. Tom Moore emphasized safety as he related his family s recent tragedy when his grown son Kenny was struck by the helicopter he was flying in Florida. Kenny lost control after an equipment failure. He received a skull fracture and severe lacerations to his head, neck, and face that resulted in a week-long hospital stay. Fortunately he was not at the field alone and the field location had recently been registered with the 911 emergency service. Thankfully Kenny will recover from his injuries. Tom reported that the AMA insurance will cover anything not covered by his insurance company less a $750 deductible. The ensuing safety discussion covered many aspects of safety and accident response including a brief discussion by Mike Cook concerning trauma injuries. As far as emergency response, the Legler landfill site is a known location. Carl Parducci pointed out that the emergency placard also instructs the caller to go out to the main road to meet the emergency vehicles. The discussion encompassed other emergencies and several people questioned whether the club should purchase an automated external defibrillator (AED). Mike Cook pointed out that the prices have come down and that they are now around $1,000. Ed Hollema said that the board will see Minutes, page 4
4 Page 4 Ocean County Modelers Inc. Minutes, from page 3 will look at getting the emergency sign redone and reminded all members that flying alone is not a good idea. Old Business: Bill Martin advised everyone that the updated version of the field rules was posted on the web site. Members were given the opportunity to question or comment on the rules. Earlier Mike Fevola had made reference to them, so we know that at least one person read them. Bill pointed out that his efforts were limited to updating and editing and thanked Jam Rabii and Gil Schwalb for originally putting the document together. There were no comments. These rules are now in effect. Read and practice them when you are on the field. The April 4 th in-club event was a total washout. Mike Cook said that he will be looking at another attempt in June, date to follow. In the meantime, there is a night flight scheduled for Friday May 8 th. Everyone with lights on their electric planes is invited to come out and have some fun. Festivities will start around dusk. Ed Hollema provided the latest information on the proposed Jackson Solar Farm. The township held a pre-bid meeting at the field and opened the bidding process for the completion of a 20 acre section to the left of our runway. Although the township has promised to keep the club in the loop, it is apparent that we are not a major concern of theirs. There was an extended discussion that resulted in the board reactivating the Field Search Committee. Members will include Tony Riccio, Gil Schwalb, Jam Rabii, and Vince Scatuccio. Jam and Gil have had previous meetings with the township and will again attempt to sit down with them. Ed Hollema announced that the club will slow expenditures in a wait and see approach. New Business: The Electric Fun Fly scheduled for Saturday, May 16 th (rain date Sunday the 17 th ) is fast approaching. Chris Segui, the chairperson, will be picking up prizes this week. Volunteers are still needed and a list was passed around for people to sign up. This has been a fun event for members and guests. We hope everyone will come out and have a good time. Bill Bollard, chairman of the Civil Air Patrol Day at OCM, introduced Mike Castania, the NJ CAP Director of Aerospace Education. Mike outlined the CAP efforts to educate kids about aviation and the tie-in with the AMA MARC (Model Airplane and Remote Control flying) program. NJ CAP has 600 kids participating in the year old range. This is our opportunity to expose them to model aviation and develop future members. Bill discussed the plan to bring out eight kids for CAP Day at OCM and give them the opportunity to fly. The goal is to get four trainers up and running. The event is planned for June 13 th at 10:00 am. The field will remain open to members and volunteers should contact Bill Bollard. Rich Bombardier, OCM member and Pine Barren Modelers President, discussed the new electric flying field opened at Jake s Branch Park on Double Trouble Road in Beachwood. The site is located in the park, past the baseball fields and operates during normal park hours. There is a kiosk up with a map and safety chains to close off the field when flyers are present. For members interested in becoming limited PBM members and flying there regularly the price is $30 See Minutes, page 5
5 Ocean County Modelers Inc. Page 5 Minutes, from page 4 per year. Right now OCM Members are invited to come down and try out the field. Please bring both your AMA and OCM membership cards. Vince Scatuccio handed out brochures on Lyme disease to members and briefly reviewed the risks associated with tick bites here in NJ. Both Vince and his wife are spokespeople for the Lyme Disease Association. Vince related that 99% of Deer Ticks in NJ carry the disease. We all need to be aware and take this seriously. Lyme can be a debilitating disease that is often difficult to accurately diagnose. Prevention is the best medicine. Ed Hollema announced that the club is looking for a chairperson to run the October 3D Event. Unfortunately Lee Morey will not be available to chair this event. Anyone interested in running the event should contact Ed. Member Activities: There were two models of the month entries. First, Mike Fevola presented his beautiful Ringmaster built by Joe Yuhasz. The plane features an E-flite 480 motor, 1300 mah battery, and Hitec HS-82 metal gear servos. Mike discussed this modern built-up fuselage versus the original flat control line version. His nostalgia was evident when he introduced the plane saying if you have been into modeling for the last 50 years you will recognize this. At the other end of the spectrum, Joe pointed out that this was the worst kit I ever built as he proceeded to highlight all of its short comings and design flaws. Despite the challenges, Joe did a wonderful job getting this girl together. Rich Bombardier showed off his Tower Hobbies 59 DHC-2 Beaver decked out with floats. This foamy comes complete, TX-R ready; with working navigation and landing lights for around $ Rich describes her as a docile plane to fly and well handling on the water. He reports getting six minute flights from the 1800 mah batteries he is using. He has a total of about ten flights with both wheels and floats. It looks great on the lake in the early morning calm. Mike Fevola won the 50/50 drawing splitting a $70.00 pot. The meeting was adjourned at 8:50 pm. Submitted by Bill Martin, Club Secretary Come on out Support your club!! Volunteer to help Wherever needed!!
