PMAC Sound Standard
PMAC is very committed to being friendly to both our neighbors and environment. Our aircraft sound standards are found in Article 11, Section 4 of our Club Constitution and By Laws which states:
The sound requirement for all planes at the PMAC field shall be (1) 96dB at 25 feet and (2) if two (2) or more members determine that a plane is too loud in flight, or a complaint is heard from a neighbor in our outside overfly area, the plane must be grounded until at least three members of the safety committee witness its performance. If a majority confirms the plane to be too loud, it must remain grounded until it is permanently corrected.
The current PMAC Constitution and By-Laws can be found at the link below

2017 Independence Day Parade & Static Display
7am and were ready to roll!
Little Ariel. Excited and ready for a full day!
It is said that the essence of a parade is pride on display. One marches and displays all that one stands for, believes in and holds precious. Those things are never more evident than in an Independence Day Parade. National pride, history and culture were widespread in over 100 entries in the Clarkston Parade which ran for over a mile and a half through sun dappled neighborhood streets and main street lined with literally, thousands of people along the way. For the PMAC, this was our first year participating in the parade and was made possible in part by our recently returned and restored club tractor which was skillfully reworked by club member Allan Wesley for a number of years. The tractor pulled a donated trailer for the event and held much of what we hold dear and take pride in…our hobby and club, represented by a diverse range of models and members - individuals of all ages, races and genders, Veteran modelers, families and couples all holding models from giant scale to foam jets and accompanying the float, all waiving and answering questions by many spectators that had no idea the hobby had such range and diversity. Indeed, for many spectators it was a first ever exposure to the club and hobby! The weather was absolutely perfect with a deep blue sky, calm winds and brilliant late morning sun. It was an incredible sense of pride representing our hobby and club as we slow rolled along coupled with the adulation from old vets that flew stearman aircraft to awe struck kids and adults alike. When the parade was completed, we drove the tractor and float to nearby Clintonwood Park where we staged a static display as part of the continuing Independence Fest 2017 celebration. There were many onlookers asking questions about the hobby and the club - many of which were veterans and families of. PMAC informational material was passed out to all who requested it and invited to visit our club for upcoming events and our Thursday evening training. Truly the club and the hobby was very well represented and my sincere thank you to all who participated in this little experiment of mine. Special thanks to Stan Stroble who not only did much of the background prep work but also delivered and safely returned the tractor as well as skillfully maneuvered the beast the entire day.

Much of the decorations needed to happen on location and in short order. Thanks to Scott, Cathy, Steven and Mary for taking this on.
Your club and hobby on display
Incredible sight as the PMAC Float rolls into town with a 100 foot flag slowly waiving in the distance.
