The Farview R/C Flyers and the Tri County Wingsnappers would like to extend a fantastic opportunity for you to join with us in flying radio controlled Giant Scale model 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 the early 1970's to 1996. We will be having an IMAA and AMA sanctioned Giant Scale Fun Fly on August 22th, 23rd and 24th, from 9:00 am til dark. Food and beverage will be available all three days, with a chicken BBQ on Saturday night.

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 frequencies will be welcome for this three day event. Our field is very turbine friendly! We will also be hosting the IMAA Rally of Giants in 2009 (Father's Day weekend in June '09)

If you have any questions 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> Dave Renninger at <xxspeed@comcast.net> or CD Lee Buskirk at <lbjms@verizon.net>.

Very sincerely yours,

Rick Boyer CD Hamburg Giant Scale Fun Fly
Secretary, Farview R/C Flyers
