Frank,

The beginning SPA class is called Introductory starting this year, and the maneuvers can be found here - http://www.seniorpattern.com/pdf/201...llingCards.pdf. Send me the info on your contest and I'll get it posted on the SPA website.

Well, We will be having Introductory, Novice, Sportsman, Advanced and Expert. But whether it's B-Novice or Introductory, we are going to have a lot of fun. Get lots of prizes, good food, and most of all, lots of conversation with people that have a common interest in airplanes.

AND, it's going to be perfect flying weather! ! ! !

Scott, We will be glad to have you. Maybe you will take home one of those gold trophies and some free prizes.

The field will be open on Friday, the day before, for practice. There is room for Campers and RVs, but no hookups. There are Motels within 10 minutes of the field and plenty of eating establishments just down the street.

Here are some photos of our previous events. Our sponsors last year were Wild Bill's Hobby Shop, Tower Hobbies, Horizon Hobbies, True Turn Spinners, Amain Hobbies, Sig Mfg, Servo City and Lazor Works.

Did I mention that we have a very nice Petro Mat runway and pit area?
