I would like to personally thank Rex for his six years at the<br>> helm.<br>><br>> This years contest scheduled is shaping up nice with Medford back and a new<br>> event at Albany. Boise is coming up soon and word is some of the Oregon boys<br>> are planning to attend.<br>><br>> Please do me a favor and send me anything you might feel would be fit for<br>> print in the KFactor (building projects, set up ideas, etc.). Photos<br>> welcome.<br>><br>> On the business side, the BOD recently conducted a quick meeting to deal<br>> with a couple of important issues. The first was addressing the fact that<br>> AMA will no longer
be paying for our NSRCA rep to attend the FAI meeting.<br>> Estimated cost are $2,000. This meeting is held every two years. It was felt<br>> the 2013 meeting to be of utmost importance. The board voted to pay for the<br>> upcoming meeting experiences as well as budget for the 2015 meeting.<br>><br>> The second issue was telemetry. It seems a few of the newer radio systems<br>> have telemetry to monitor receiver battery voltage, but do not have the<br>> ability to be turned off. This is an important issue as the current rule<br>> pretty much says "no telemetry". A rule change proposal is being submitted<br>> to the contest committee and AMA that will basically allow telemetry that<br>> does not give a contestant an edge.<br>><br>> On the flying side, in Portland we have had a pretty mild winter and have<br>> been able to get out most weekends. Of course, spring just hit, so the<br>> monsoons will likely be back
