Looking for jet testing in the desert
 

Hi,
I'm a So-cal flyer (LA Area-van nuys to be exact) and I'm looking for a place maybe out in the desert to take my plane to do a couple more flights on it. I flew it at a local field and I felt like I was landing on an aircraft carrier. Its an ITP models F-4 with a AMT Peg. Its a little bit under powered but it flies pretty good. I just need a place to get a little more proficient where there is plenty of room to land. Also need a turbine waiver ;)
thanks

RE: New jet desert
 

You could always go to Rabbit dry lake. There are a bunch of jet guys that fly there. I will be there thursday and friday of this week.

I just read your post, if you havn't found a place I have the perfect place for you.
I belong to the Muroc model masters, and our flying field is on the dry Lake at Edwards AFB, about 50 miles up the 14 freeway to antelope Valley.
We are open for Planes of course, rockets and anything else you can think of.
As far as having the room to take off and land, our field is flat in all directions for over a mile in any direction.
If you go to www.murocmodelmasters.com I believe there are some pictures of the field.
Just e-mail Ron or one of the other club officers, or me, [email protected] and we will be happy to let you fly as a guest until and if you want to join the club.
Our yearly memebership is only $25 a year, since we believe our money can be better spent on our hobby than yearly dues.
You do have to have an active AMA membership for liability reasons etc.
