Mac Hodges Field

[Ron Van Putte]

I don't know how many of you know Mac Hodges, but he is a former Pattern 
pilot from near Americus, GA.  Several years ago Mac quit Pattern and, 
later, started competing in fun fly events.  He became the national fun 
fly champion for six or seven years running.  He is also a full scale 
light plane pilot.  His full scale/model flying field is on his family's 
farm outside Americus, GA.

Emory Schroeter and Ken Blackwell co-hosted the Peach Classic pattern 
contest at Mac's field last weekend.  You may have seen the results 
posted by Emory on Monday.  We had an enjoyable contest there and I look 
forward to next year's contest.  

This weekend there will be an IMAC contest at the same field.  

Mac has a hobby shop adjacent to the runway.  It is the best R/C hobby 
shop I have ever visited.  You must see it to believe all the R/C items 
Mac has in a hobby shop way out in the Georgia 'boonies'.  Look at

The reason I'm writing this e-mail is that there will another event at 
Mac's field in June.  The Southeast Electric Flight Festival will be 
held June 20th to the 22nd.  If you have never seen the complete 
spectrum of electric-powered R/C models, this is the place to be.  I 
attended the first event at another field last June and it was a 'kick'.
