[NSRCA-discussion] Looking to fly in Chicago either tomorrow or Saturday

[Budd Engineering]

Hey Matt,

Try contacting some of the officers from their website, that's what I did several times enroute to Muncie when I needed to practice somewhere.  ALL of the clubs I flew at were friendly if not downright accommodating to me.  Kudos to the OmaHawks, the Grundy County Aeromodelers in Seneca, IL, the Tri-Village Club in Hoffman Estates, and Fox Valley R/C Club in St. Charles, IL.  All of the fields were nice but the field in St. Charles is the most impressive R/C facility I have ever seen:  800' x 50' paved runway, a fully paved parking lot (with marked parking stalls), a large shaded grandstand for spectators, and a large clubhouse with large glass windows.  It's really a first class facility.  I showed up there unannounced on Friday evening a week ago and they were very welcoming and happy to let me fly there, even though they were setting up for a big Festival of Flight Airshow the next day.  If it's close to where your family is in the Chicago area you should go check it out!

BTW - It was great judging the FAI/Masters finals with you and everyone yesterday, it's really an honor to be able to do so.  I especially enjoyed our discussions with Mark Radcliffe, Mike Harrison, Mark Atwood, Joe Dunnaway, John Fuqua and others, it was a lot of fun!!

Take care and have a safe trip home!

Jerry
