I received the following e-mail from Ed Kirtley. I’m paisting his response here so we have responses here in one place.

If enough guys feel the same, I have no problem hosting an SPA gathering here in Miami. I’ll warm up the BBQ!

I have interest in coming down to Miami (my son lives there) and flying an SPA Pattern, just for fun.

I live in Howey in the Hills, Fl., about 45minutes NW of Orlando. I use to live in Kentucky and flew a few SPA Contests over the years. I fly Sportsman.


I have two SPA Aircraft at this time. A Daddy Rabbit and a World Models Intruder. Both are powered by an OS 91 4-stroke. I thought about getting back into contests, but just did not want to drive four to eight hours for a contest. With your field, I could stay and visit my son.
