Then this summer we will have a race day. As soon as the schedule is worked out the exact days will be posted. Club 40 and Q25 are growing and we're proud to be a part of it.

Status: offline 		Ok some of you have asked for info, and this is what I have at the moment,

May 10th will be a Club 40 - Q25, Demo / Racer Family Fun Day. We will have 2 pole 450ft , up all day for everyone to fly, and if enough people request it 3 pole long course can be put up. We will have lunch for everyone, till we run out of burgers and hot dogs. RV's ok, but no hook ups. Even if you don't have a "Race plane" bring your 40 size sport plane and come and play. Bring your own fuel.

August 2nd will be a regular Club 40 and Q25 races. All Texas rules will be in effect for both classes, we will have a novice class C-40 if we have enough racers.

Status: offline 		It's listed as 600x150 grass, 40 acres of land. I like it better than paved, it's like golf course grass (Fairway), I have been know to walk around bare foot during the summer. I have flown Q25, 424, 428, Club 40, and sport planes off it. Our web site is changing right now, as soon as they get it figured out I'll get the info up.

Do the guys that fly Q25, 424, and 428 use the "Pizza Cutter" wheels on your field? Any problems with them cutting through the grass?

Looking forward to meeting you and your friends in Seguin, TX May 3rd.

Status: offline 		Yes we do use the "Pizza cutter" wheels. the grass is cut short enough we don't have to much trouble. We just use hi rates for take off and jerk them off the ground, then switch to low. We use the Jett BB, and NB wheels.

Well foo,, you can't see any of our wheels. the white is a 424, the 2 reds are 428's
