Sad day at Speedworld
Sadly, today was the last day of flying at Speedword in Phoenix. Following a three month attempt by our club, our attorney's, and the attorney's representing AMA we've been totally unsuccessful in an attempt to remain open. The State of Arizona is, at this juncture, demanding that we make no further contact with their representatives. So, following a brief flying session this morning we rolled up the rug, stored all movable item and bid a sad farewell to one of the premier RC flying sites in the country. The Arizona Republic (Phoenix Newspaper) had a reporter and photographer on hand to record our demise and will publish our story in Saturday's edition. Let me take this opportunity to thank each of you for your suggestion's, encouragement, and support these last few months. A special thank you must go to the AMA (they've really tried), and to the many pilots who signed letters at Best in the West for our Governors review. I'll keep you posted as to any future positive progress. In the meantime keep the nose up, power on, and trap the # 3 wire.
