It's not too make plans to attend the 28th Annual Roadrunner Pattern contest. This year it will be held on May 18 and 19th at the Rocky Mountain Flying Machine(RMFM) field outside of Albuquerque, NM. This field is north of the Route 66 Casino on county road 36 at an altitude of 5300 feet. Maps are available either through the RMFM website at
http://rmfm.org or through the NSRCA website contest calendar. Weather and size of entry field permitting we are planning to fly six rounds with four on Saturday and two on Sunday. We have both north-south and east-west runways that are over 600 feet in length with a petromat surface and no dropoff at the edges. There will be no issues due to early morning sun as both runways will be set up with stripes and 150 meter poles. We will be checking for proper failsafe operation.
The world famous Laguna burgers will be available for lunch both days at the contest plus the standard coffee and donuts in the morning. We are planning a Saturday night outing to Village Pizza as we have done for the Fall contest in the past. There is also a full casino and hotel within three miles of the field.
If you have any questions please drop me an email or give me a call at 623-986-8206. The flyer and more information is on the NSRCA calendar.
Thanks
