RE: Sepulveda Basin
Ah, the basin! We sure had fun doing air shows there before we moved here! It definitely IS an exciting location, with lots going on. Not someplace I would go to practice pattern or would prefer to fly a high performance aircraft except during airshows when the field is regulated more carefully.
It is a nice site to fly as far as conditions, no doubt. and some really great people!!! just gets a little hairy now and then -- as does Whittier Narrows -- and lots of other places too! But I sure do miss all the people to talk RC with and the great commaraderie of this hobby in areas like LA!!!
I LOVE the peace and quiet here in the middle of the country (literally) but it sure is nice to go to a field on saturday morning and have 100 other modelers to talk with and share this great hobby! The high population density in CA does have some nice benefits....great place to make new friends!!!
