Dave - I don't know. Try this: Go to: www.seniorpattern.com See past contest schedule's and results. Maybe there is something on the site, and we will probably get someone from up there to post, or answer your post question.

Vince

Paulding County is the general location. last yrs hotlanta contest apparently was held the the PCMA and that triggered a memory of a contest being held in Paulding Co. far west atlanta for me but less west than alabama.

david

Thanks for the location. I went to the SPA site, and looks like there will be more contest's added. Florida will have one in December, at Apopka, FL, near Orlando.

Vince

The Hotlanta SPA contest is held at PCMA ( Paulding County Model Aviation ) field west of Atlanta. Here is a link to their website.

We have a great time and invite all to come and fly or just watch. Either way you will have a blast.


Bob

Thanks

i will try to make that one for sure. i would love to see these planes up close and in person.

david

Lets not forget about the NE, there will be atleast 3 contest here, Conn. Staten Island, N.Y. and NJ. I will forward the schedule as soon as I can nail down the dates.

i don't know about those locations. my southern accent clashing with a staten island accent might shoot someone's plane down[X(] we would need a translator just to understand each other. but we would all love photos of the action though.

Accent, Accent? we aint got no accent

Hey John:

How can those guys that say "Youall" think that us Yankees have an accent. If we do that translator thing I think that if we said "Yous Guys" it would be the same thing.

Any date for the contest yet. Hope it's not the 7,8th of June that one is no good for me.

Thanks

How about the Asheville, NC meet July 12-13? That's the only one you missed---my contest[X(]. How can that be?

Where abouts is Gadsen, AL? Can't get it to come up on Mapquest.

Dave

40 miles northeast of Birmingham. The spelling is Gadsden.
