RE: Florida SPA Chapter
Hello everyone:
Bob, I do not have a problem with the field in Tampa, however, the 29th of September I am CDing a "Sport 240" pylon event at my club field RCACF. The Sport 240 are 80" WS, 2.2 CI max displacement engines and go approx 130-160 MPH.
The get together should go on whether I am there or not, I can always get the information later. The Tampa site is approximately 1.7 hours from where I live in Orlando.
I am fairly sure my club RCACF would be responsive to having guests fly at the RCACF field. I will check with the "Board of Directors". However, the gathering cannot be on Sept 29, 2007; most likely the weekend before or weekend after. Probably the first Satutrday in October would be best for us. The pattern guys in my club would be practicing the weekend before the Jacksonville contest on the 29 of September. I unfortunately will not be attending that one due to contest conflicts (my mistake). Our field is outfitted with a 700' paved runway, non AC clubhouse, electricity for charging and "pot-o-lets (male and female). The only drawback is you must know how to fly in a crosswind, the runway goes North to South (sometimes it goes South to North). Bob this may be a little closer for you, not much though.
In any event, I think you are on the right track.
