LOL not only did we have lawn chairs, we had tables and one table was set up with coffee and muffins. Sweet deal! For myself only Sunday is pretty much the only day I can get regularly for RC fun. Some friends, and friends of friends, fly there all the time, randomly. Stop by and get on our email list!
You probably don't need to hand launch! Just a short walk east of that tree, there is a huge natural runway of hard dirt that is pretty smooth and flat enough. That is where I plan to maiden my Viper. Any plane with decently sized wheels can land almost anywhere around there, it's not too rough.
