URA News for March 2010
Next Meeting – Our next meeting will be held in our normal spot at Airgyro on Saturday, March 13 at 10am MST, and also online. We expect to have a finalized airport layout, traffic pattern, and ground operations plan for ROTR 2010 to share with everyone.
New Webinar Platform – To simplify setup of our final webinar for this season, we're going to conduct it using the Dimdim webmeeting platform (right.) This will allow hearing the sound directly through your computer, requiring a phone call only for the Q-&-A portion of the session. Complere instructions will be up on the “Webinars” link at left by March 5th.

On Saturday, March 13 at 11am MST, PRA Secretary Stan Foster will share details of his Helicycle build project. See “Webinars” at left for details and how to participate via the web. Stan plans to combine JPEG stills with video for his presentation, and take your questions. We'll have 20 online seats available. |
New PRA Magazine! The next magazine received by PRA members will be Powered Sport Flying, (right,) combining content from PRA, the US Ultralight Association, and the US Powered Paragliding Association. The magazine is a revised and expanded version of the former UltraFlight magazine, and will reach mailboxes within days.
More PRA Changes – Scott Lewis, president of the Sunstate Wing & Rotor Club (PRA26) in Florida, is PRA's new president effective February 9. Several issues which have been pending for some time are now moving forward, including the magazine change, and a new dedicated website for the annual convention. The PRA Regional Representative Program has been cleared to start, with three regions currently having chosen reps (including ours.)
New Robinson R66 Turbine – Frank Robinson had been unwilling to specify a projected retail price for his new five-seat, turbine R66 during its development, suggesting only that it would be under a million dollars. On February 12, he kept that promise, with $200K to spare! The new machine (right) will list for $770K, and can be reserved with a $75K deposit through Robinson dealers.
