Hi guys,

Do you have GPS coordinates to reach the field ? I am arrived in Houston 3 months ago (from France) and i would like to visit you during the contest to see F3A people in Tx.

See you there,

Olivier

Very interesting we get dress warm for a May contest, at least in the morning. Should be fun flying the "wrong" way with north winds!! Always a great time!

Matt, I am afraid not for two reasons. One is I am this weekend's event director and will be focused on running the best event I can for the competitors. The other reason is at the LARKS contest the weekend before last me and another competitor tried to occupy the same airspace at the same time[:'(]. Both planes survived and landed safely. I've not had time yet to repair mine.

By the way the CARF Integral in your picture you saw me fly has a brother a CARF Valiant pictured below which I am in the process of flight trimming.

Radio - Futaba 14MZ, BLS551, BLS153, BLS352, R6008HS
Motor - Hacker C50 Comp 14XL
ESC - Castle ICE2 HV80
Batteries - 10s ThunderPower 5000mah, Rhino 610mah
Spinner - Tru-Turn Turbo-cool
Prop - APC 22x12
Landing gear/pants - Falcon
Wing tube - PBG

Weight RTF 4950g

Very nice. I can see myself getting into a Composite someday.

Ican't wait to maiden my Vanquish. Attach the H-stab and set the incidence, and she will be ready to go. Hopefully this weekend.

Big thanks go out to the club members of the Space City RC club of Katy Texas for hosting and supporting our sixth annual pattern event. Weather both days was challenging in regards to wind. All classes handled the conditions magnificently. Thirty four pilots attended this year.

Olivier it was very nice meeting you. Thanks for taking and posting your pictures.
