I’ve watched with interest the recent ‘give and take’ between the board and some of its members regarding Steve Russo.  …

However, what I think has been overlooked is that a board’s responsibility is to steadfastly care for the health, welfare and protection of the organization it oversees.  We don’t live in the 70’s, 80’s or even the 90’s anymore.  Hang loose is gone, probably forever.  Attorneys and MBA’s dictate how things are done these days.  The reality of AJX is that it could easily go away.  The board is acutely aware of this and they are trying their best to not let it happen.  Although at times unpopular, their actions must be based on what’s best for the long-term survival of AJX.  I get that.

Some of you who fly CSS  might want to read what, “Charles” had to say a few more times ; apparently it isn’t sinking in !

I brought this issue about Steve a few years ago ; because I was concerned about the high quality of lawyers that  Encore could purchase with their vast amounts of money. The idea that Encore could come after the individual members of the club instead of the club itself ; that notion was temparioraly dispelled by Luke for a short time until I spoke to a prominent lawyer in Vegas about the same question. Bottom line for me now is : I’m not willing to chance becoming a full member of CSS until this situation is Fully resolved ; until then I will purchase temporary membership for when I want to fly there.

IF there is still garbage left by Steve in the spot where he was squatting ; then the situation is NOT resolved. Also if Steve is encroaching on other neighbors near CSS , then the situation is Not resolved ; because they also could come after the club members with lawyers that I can’t afford..

… Portable ADS-B Out systems, also known as “suitcase” units, should not be operated (transmitting) aboard any aircraft, with the exception of TSO-C199 devices …

So I google searched TSO-C199 devices  , and got this :

https://www.google.com/search?q=TSO-C199+devices&rlz=1C1VDKB_enUS1116US1126&oq=TSO-C199+devices&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCDEzNTVqMGo3qAIIsAIB&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

… TSO-C199 devices, known as Traffic Awareness Beacon Systems (TABS), are FAA-certified, low-power ADS-B Out equipment designed for voluntary equipage on aircraft not mandated to carry transponders, such as gliders, balloons, and vintage aircraft. They enhance safety by enabling visibility to other aircraft equipped with TCAS, TAS, or ADS-B In.

I contacted the company , and the owner said we may be able to work out something  out for my Atos VRX; the span is too big for me to feel good about launching it on two fake legs. I have the smaller Atos for foot launching ; I don’t need help with that one. See you guys in February next year !

… I feel for Steve but if he is on land he shouldn’t be he must relocate. No ifs or buts

This situation , “IS” the reason that I did not rejoin CSS . Some of you may not realize that if the landowner decided to file a lawsuit … (this is important) ; that landowner could go after each and every member of CSS, instead of just the club as a whole. How do I know this (?) ; it happened to my brother  !
