Well, Im sure you are aware there are several choices LOL! However, I am basically lazy. Add to that that I live 5 minutes away from what IMHO is the best airfield around these parts, and you will see why I fly off the Evergreen Aeromodelers field behind the Museum.

Quote from the egam webpage:"DeAlton Field offers one of the finest model aviation facilities. RC flyers enjoy a 500 x 24 foot paved runway, 500 x 20 grass runway, paved taxiways, 6 flying stations and a fenced pit area with frequency board and individual pit tables. The Control-Line area includes one paved donut and a grass circle with paved takeoff strip. Both fields have electricity on-site with underground irrigation systems and feature safety fencing and attractive landscaping. Beautiful oak trees between the flying areas allow for picnics and shady relaxation."

The field is located on the grounds of the Evergreem Museum complex. They maintain it all for us free of charge, (So far). All they ask is that when they have something going on with the kids, (Boy scouts and other groups) we do educational fy ins up to and including Buddy box events for the kids to get some stick time.

The host club is the Evergreen Aero Modelers, our website is [link=http://www.egam.org]The Evergreen Aero Modelers[/link]

RE caapja:
Im really new myself, and technically probably not qualified to teach yet in terms of flight skill and experience. But Im the only regular at our field willing on a regular basis, so I have taken it upon myself to teach my kids, and once Im successfull there I will start teaching any who want to learn, (maybe sooner since we've a couple of new guys joining the club and hungry for flight time. Who knows!) I have to check with the club on the particulars for this, but since the club president was not only OK with me teaching my kids there, but encouraged it, I do not expect any issues.
As for the gear, well a hazzard of owning a trainer outfitted with JR Radios in an area that almost exclusively flies Futaba. One must have ones own buddy box to learn with! Fortunately for me, a good friend in Arizona had this nice JR 6102 that he didnt use due to xmitter issues. (Lost planes to it) Works great as a buddy box, and all I owe him is shipping. Which I really need to send to him!

Gee whiz! I knew I was eventually gonna teach, but I had no idea it would be this soon after my own solo!! (I sure wish we had more regulars at the air field then findign a more qualified instructor wouldnt be an issue..)

Side note: one of the competitions we will be having this Saturday is a "Touch and go" event. I started practicing Sunday, in a gusy crosswind..
Who knew Touch and Goes would be this difficult!! Plenty of Touches, not so many go's[:@] (My plane dont go so well off the grass no more..)
BUT!! Other than rebending the gear, and maybe replacing the prop, the plane is still flight ready!
