1. Only members and guests of the following local clubs will be allowed to use the sod farm to fly radio controlled aircraft
   • Collins Model Aviators - David K. Shema, President
   • C R Sport Flyers - Terry Philpott
2. Vehicles shall drive and park on the areas marked gravel lot on the attached drawing. During normal dry conditions vehicles may drive on the dirt driveway heading east into the sod farm. This dirt driveway will be marked out with orange cones. During dry conditions driving and parking will be allowed on the bare dirt area located between the "existing sod" or "new seeded" areas.
3. Only model aircraft will be flown, no aircraft capable of carrying a pilot or pay-load will be allowed.
4. Operations of model aircraft shall be done in a fashion so they will take off and land either on the "existing sod" or the bare dirt area.
5. Fueling of the model aircraft shall not be done on either "existing sod" or "new seed".
6. If noise from the model aircraft become a problem mufflers will be required.
7. A frequency board may be stored at the sod farm, outdoors at a place suitable to everyone concerned.
8. Sometimes our pet dog "Dusty" may be running loose when you arrive. If no one is here to put her inside, put her in the kennel that is located at the South-East corner of the shop. Access to the kennel will be made from the outside.
9. Caution shall be exercised so as not to injure the numerous cats that run loose.
10. We will maintain the "Sod Farm" in the usual manner, expending no extra time or expense for the benefit of Collins Model Aviators or C R Sport Flyers.
11. At all times common sense and courtesy shall prevail.
12. This agreement is valid only for one year, the lease to be re-negotiated on a yearly basis.

Amendments:

1. Do not sit, stand, or lean on the steel irrigation pipe.
2. Fueling over the grass is permitted as long as an overflow container is used so fuel does not get on the grass.
3. Driving over the soft irrigation hoses is permitted as long as you drive slowly so the hose does not break open.
4. Until further notice: Park cars in the grass area on South side of driveway before entering the gravel lot. Carry aircraft and equipment to the area East of the house and work shop to fly. This area is a lighter shade of green on the map. The dark green is new sod and the black area is bare dirt.

THE LAST SET OF CONES MARK THE EDGE OF THE NEW SEED AREA

1. You must have a current AMA License.
2. 1991 Qualified Radios are required.
3. No flying behind the flight line.
4. Absolutely no alcoholic beverages.
5. No smoking due to potential fire hazard.
6. All trash leaves with you.
7. You must abide by the frequency management plan. (Don’t turn on your transmitter unless you have the correct frequency flag.)
8. Engine starting, takeoffs, landings, dead sticks, and low passes must be announced.
9. Direct aircraft blast and exhaust away from other aircraft in the pit, spectators, and pilots.
10. No takeoffs and landings closer that 20 feet from established pilot stations.
11. High-speed low altitude passes must stay beyond 50 feet of the established flight line.
12. Practice low approaches approved for normal runway centerline.
13. First flights of new or rebuilt aircraft must be announced.
14. No pets allowed.
15. Mufflers are required on all engines larger than .09.
16. Make sure the first aid kit is readily available.
17. Obey the specific rules provided by the field owner, Larry Martinson.

Helicopters:

1. The rotor head will be hand held at all times when the engine is started or running in or near the area of fellow flyers (pit area) or spectator areas.
2. The helicopter must be carried, by the rotor head, to and from the flying area. There will be no hovering into, out of, around, or over the pit or spectator areas.
3. The helicopter will fly the same general flight pattern as fixed winged aircraft. This includes departures and approaches.
4. Prolonged hovering over the active runway, and advanced hovering maneuvers (which must be done out of the general flight pattern), may only take place with the mutual consent of the pilots present.
5. At the end of its flight, the helicopter may be hovered off to the side of the active runway, then shut down.
6. Hover pad altitude limited to 20 feet.

2. The helicopter must be carried, by the rotor head, to and from the flying area. There will be no hovering into, out of, around, or over the pit or spectator areas.
3. The pilot, or others, should never touch the helicopter while its rotors are spinning, except to stop the rotors after run-up or touch down and only when the engine is at idle and the clutch is disengaged.
4. Prolonged hovering over the active runway may only take place with the mutual consent of the pilots present.
5. The helicopter will fly the same general flight pattern as fixed winged aircraft. This includes departures and approaches.
6. If advanced hovering maneuvers are to be practiced, the helicopter will hover out of the general flight path, preferably East of the runway over the crop field.
7. At the end of its flight, the helicopter may be hovered off to the side of the active runway, then shut down.
8. Due to the differences of flight characteristics between helicopters and fixed winged aircraft, it is expected that the pilots of both types of aircraft cooperate with each other to make the combined flying session enjoyable for everyone.
