RE: Shenandoah Pattern Classic
 

Yes Bill and anyone else we do allow campers , but there no hook up. If you like I can check on the fair ground which is across the street. I heard from another club member that he has put he 's camper there for other club event and drove his atv to field this way he had hook up.

Mine has a built in generator anyway. Btw,..does the field have power for charging flight packs, etc.

Bill

RE: Shenandoah Pattern Classic
 

Bill no we don't have power at the field , but there always some gen. running that hopefully you can plug into. I'll have mine there but it will be in use for the scoring program. Last year there was no problem with power,most of the pilots now day either have a gen. or they charge 4 battery min. to last the 4 round of the first day then they come back 2nd day . Small detail that can be work out;).

Jr,

I'm fine the camper has a built-in generator, no problem there. I was just thinking if others might need to charge. I have five new packs now, so I'm good. Thanks for clarifying that.

Bill

RE: Shenandoah Pattern Classic
 

I will keep this one in mind. I have a close friend in Charlottesville. Might be nice to take a couple of days off, fly in a contest and see good friends. I just don't know what I'll have to fly at that point...

RE: Shenandoah Pattern Classic
 

Joe,

It's a great contest. The hotel everyone stays at is less than 100 yards from the field. You can watch out the windows in the back of the hotel people flying. Location is great and JR's club put on a great contest last year,

I just might have a Xigris available for pickup by then<g> That's if you could afford the price.

RE: Shenandoah Pattern Classic
 

Dammit, its the weekend of the Columbus contest, which is 90min from my house. Now I gotta pick one [:@]

Joe, you can PM me the price if you want.

RE: Shenandoah Pattern Classic

Scott,

JR's was first. He had his last year. Lol. He actually stole my weekend....:)

Arch

RE: Shenandoah Pattern Classic
 

You're right, Arch. A couple of years ago I wanted to do your contest and it conflicted with the Columbus event, too.

RE: Shenandoah Pattern Classic
 

You should come to JR's. You see the D4 guys all the time...lol

Arch

RE: Shenandoah Pattern Classic
 

AHHHHH come on Arch we talk about it. Remember that if I wait later in the season (Flying season and CORN season) it become a problem.
Guy's don't get scare the corn will be not be an issue . But if I waited til after Nat's and into Sept then that would be differnt story. Plus I did have cool awards last year right Arch .:D

Jr

RE: Shenandoah Pattern Classic
 

I didn't say it was a bad thing JR. I just like giving you a hard time. I love your contest.

Looks like I am going to make this one. Plan is to head to Charlottesville Thursday night. Hope to get a flight or two in on Friday evening and will be there for the contest. I am looking forward to seeing some familiar faces from D1 and Nats and a few new faces too. Flying the Yak, happy to at least have an airplane.

RE: Shenandoah Pattern Classic

Bill

RE: Shenandoah Pattern Classic
 

Joe we'll be more than happy to have you over I'll be at field Thursday evenning and Friday.

Bill don't worry about water there plenty of parking area on the upside.

See you there.
Jr Varela:)

RE: Shenandoah Pattern Classic
 

JR,

I'm not worried about the water if it's only a few feet deep and the entry/exit is not steep.
