I just signed up and am looking forward to driving down. I am coming from Cabot Ar. What hotels are going to be close to the flying field?

RE: South Central Basic Bootcamp
 

Hey

Andy

I have set up a deal through Comfort Inn, if you go back to page 3 or of this link I think I put the phone number for them. I don't have right in front of me so far. Jarrod has added you to thelist .


Eddie

RE: South Central Basic Bootcamp
 

OK, I will check it out.

RE: South Central Basic Bootcamp
 

dude, you're going to drive from Minnesota???

I shouldn't talk; a pal and I drove to Toledo last year. THAT'S a bloody long trip...

RE: South Central Basic Bootcamp
 

Minnesota down to Texas for this?? Now THAT'S dedication!![X(]

RE: South Central Basic Bootcamp
 

He is running from the snow...LOL

RE: South Central Basic Bootcamp
 

Well we are getting closer.Man I can't wait!!! ;) I went out today and worked on the routine. Man I have a long way to go :(. I seem like I have the most trouble with using the rudder to keep the plane tracking close in., and not drifting out with the direction of the breeze.

Is there any word on the video?

Actually I am down in little rock for 6 months for a school. I would drive from Minny though, I love road trips.

RE: South Central Basic Bootcamp
 

Eddie,
Any word on an Agenda/Schedule?

What do we need to bring(sequences scoresheets etc)...?

Do you have RV hookups? electricity?

Hey Dan

Sorry I have been out of the loop for the last several days, (work, Christmas, and giving finals).

Anyway Jarrod and I are trying to get together to video, he has also been real busy moving into a new house and stuff. The agenda is complete and I will try to post it here in MS word. There is power at the field but the only hook ups I know of are over at the camping site which is about .5 to 1 mile away.

Eddie.

RCU said the document is not supported, I will get Jarrod to post it at ETAMS website

RE: South Central Basic Bootcamp
 

Hello everyone. I made my Comfort Inn reservations yesterday so I'm all set. If Todd Jardee and get his airplane together by them he will come with me unless I can talk him into flying my AeroWorks 33% Edge. Now, if only the weather cooperates we will be in good shape.

Eddie, if the weather becomes too bad to fly, do you think there is a meeting room somewhere in Mt. Pleasant we could use for a groundschool? It would definitely help the new guys (and some of us old Geezers as well!!)!!

Bobby

I am checking into that, and I will have an answer posted

Eddie

RE: South Central Basic Bootcamp
 

UPDATE

My main computer went out over the weekend. I have asked Jarrod to email me back the agenda so I can try and post it. I am waiting to hear about an indoor room incase we need it. As soon as I get the call I will pass that on too.

Merry Christmas to everyone and your family.

Eddie

RE: South Central Basic Bootcamp
 

I'm sorry to hear about your PC. Hopefully, you can get it back up and running soon. Todd and I are looking forward to the Boot Camp. Say, is this agend like what we did in Ft. Worth back in February? The new guys need some (or a lot of) of the ground school to let them know what it's all about.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.


Bobby

RE: South Central Basic Bootcamp
 

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

The thing basic Pilots need is aresti and stick plane training then most of all BURN FUEL


I look forward to seing all of you at the Bootcamp. Somebody bring a video camera we can put together a training DVD from the event with lots of examples of what to do and what not to do...LOL

RE: South Central Basic Bootcamp
 

I can provide the examples of what not to do.............!!

RE: South Central Basic Bootcamp
 

Stick and Aresti Training followed by an upper class pilot(like Rick) flying the basic sequence with all 10's so we know what it supposed to look like, then fly fly fly with immidiate feed back from the upper class volunteers....

that would be awsome.

Shaun and I have the same plane(his has a DA [&o] ) mine just has the better engine(BME :D), maby we can fly in formation showing what NOT to do...LOL

RE: South Central Basic Bootcamp
 

OK lets try this and see if it posts.

Hey Andy, if your looking for a place to fly some IMAC while you are in Little Rock, come on down to the FARM Club.
We are at Wrightsville just south of Little Rock. We have 6 or 7 members flying IMAC this year.
One Unlimited guy that really helps us some.
