Planning on coming down. Do you have a flyer yet?

Jon

f -07 not possible due to airspace restrictions, we have a large flying area but that circle gets way to big, but don't let that stop you come on up.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone!! We have to fly tight (100 meters) at the field, right??
.
.

Hi Emory,

Yea, I have a couple arfs sitting around here - a funtana 90 - and something else - I would consider it if 10 club guys show up.. right ...

: )

Hey I just remembered, I've got a slightly used, only mid-aired once Focus in almost flyable condition here -


: )

It's not that tight keith two lines can be flown with no problem


gary

Famous last words. . . .

Not anywhere near that tight. We have to stay inside the fence which is at about 900 feet/275 meters or so, so we don't fly over tennis courts. Not a big issue unless you are doing big rolling circles such as in F07 or huge procedure turns. I fly at 150 to 175 meters with no issues. Some guys fly too far out as a norm, and get surprised when they come to a place that enforces the distance rules.

Just for reference, our center poles are at 150 yards, not meters, so they are a little close. We have permanently marked angles and center box lines on our runway at pilot stations 3 and 5, and poles for the angles of the box.

Jon Lowe

Jon flew the demo flight (with a radio man on the poles) last year. It worked well, and as I remember, not a single person violated the tennis airspace.

I'm looking forward to it! Now if I can find a few minutes to practice.....

-Mike

THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE STINK'IN POLES JON, THEY WANT TO HERE ABOUT THE BEER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
