February 2010 Meeting Minutes

February 4, 2010 on 3:20 pm | In Meeting Minutes | No Comments

Dave reported that the club’s adopt-a-highway effort is proceeding well, with our first clean up to take place in March or April.  Barry reported that the treasury is in OK shape for the beginning of the new membership year.

Dave gave a very informative tutorial on engine maintenance, including replacement of bearings and valve adjustment.  He used his Saito 125 4-stroke as a guinea pig.  Bearing replacement was surprisingly easy, and took under 1 hour.  A 2-stroke engine would be even easier.    Dave said the set of front and rear stainless steel bearings cost about  $12 from www.rc-bearings.com .  Contact Dave with questions or for a copy of the tutorial material.

We welcomed new member Rob to the Club.

A group of us are planning to drive up to the WRAM show in White Plains, NY on Saturday, Feb 20.  If you would like to come along contact either Dave, Jack or Jon.
