Status: offline 		I finally visited the new farview field in hamburg, Pa and what a field. The runway is 1800 feet long and 400 feet wide and there is no trees or houses to worry about. If any body is thinking about going to their jet rally coming up you will not be dissapointed as this is easily the nicest field in northeast, PA. There's a nice pavillion with a full kitchen, tables etc. Here's a link to their club.

we will be there this year for their upcoming jet rally on Friday.

Albert we were in your area flying the jets this past Sunday, we flew even with the very high winds

Status: offline 		The Farview R/C Flyers would like to extend a fantastic opportunity for you to join with us in flying radio controlled model jet aircraft at the Grim Airpark in beautiful Hamburg Pennsylvania, (Perry Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania). Located just minutes off of Route 78, 61 and 222, our new club has been able to secure an old favorite RC flying site that the Tri-County Wingsnappers club used from 1971 to 1996. We will be having an AMA sanctioned Jet Rally on October 19th, 20th and 21st from 9:00 am til dark. Food and beverage will be available all three days.

Our flying field is located at 375 Farview Road, Hamburg Pa 19526 and has the following Radio Control user friendly amenities such as, an impact rolled 400' by 1800' grass runway, covered pavilion, aircraft hangar, kitchen facility, long secluded private drive and an abundance of parking as well as several thousand feet of flyover zones. This privately owned property is a state registered airfield and is one of the nicest flying sites in the northeast! All turbine powered and ducted fan aircraft operating any frequency are welcome to fly at this three day event. Landing fee is $15 for three days of flying. On site camping is available (no hookups) for $15 and the field is located close to many local hotels. Kingcats and Bobcats with angularly mounted turbines are welcome on this grass field!!

If you have any questions about the event, please visit our website at www.farviewflyers.net or contact CD Rick Boyer at <richard.a.boyer@lmco.com> 610-944-9150 , CD Erik Rudjord at <erdujord@aol.com> , Kerry Sterner at <STERNEKJ@airproducts.com>, Dave Renninger at <xxspeed@comcast.net> or Lee Buskirk at <lbjms@verizon.net>. The event is also listed on BV's website.

Very sincerely yours,

Rick Boyer CD

Here is a link to one of the closest Hotels (it's a brand new Microtel Hotel next to Cabela's off Route 78 and 61) that some of the guys are staying at for the event.

There are several others in the Reading and Allentown area.

I got you covered on the registration my good friend.

BTW, the 1/4 scale Vampire is expected to be ready to fly the weekend of 13 Oct. radio install is complete and need to finalize the Fuel and Air systems.

Will let you know the middle of next week how that schedule is holding up in hopes that you may be available to take your world renowned pic's of the event.

Mark, I will give you a call middle of next week if the 13th test flight schedule holds up in hopes that Mt. Pocono is still available.

Take care fellas.

Status: offline 		So nobody has any recommendations of where to stay? Organizers? I guess Reading is the closest, especially for those of us coming North to the event, is that right? Anybody going that isn't staying in the Microtel care to share where they are staying?
