[NSRCA-discussion] Pattern in Florida

[Jon Lowe]

Mike,
The two main hotbeds of pattern activity in FL are in Apopka (northern suburb of Orlando), and Ft. Walton Beach, many hours away.  There are a couple of people who fly in Ocala (Ivan K has a place there now).  Bill Ahrens and Brett Wickhizer are both in Jacksonville.  Our D3 DVP, Larry Odom is in Lakeland. I don't know of anyone in the Naples part of FL.  Southern FL has a lot of IMAC activity, but I don't know if any of it is around Naples.

There will be a contest in Sebring, FL in mid Feb that may be your best bet.  Larry can fill you in on the details.

Jon

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Pattern in Florida


My very close friend Paul, has stage 4 cancer and lives in Naples Florida. Needless to say, as a close friend I will be travelling Florida to visit him soon.


Paul has always had an interest in R/C airplanes. He built a Falcon 56 years ago; but, never had any real success flying it. I was out of the hobby at the time.


If anybody flys or knows somebody who flys pattern in southwest Florida  I would be very much indebted if Paul and I could watch a practice session. I'd really like to show him the kind of flying we do. If a club in area has some kind of program where he could get some stick time, that would be even better.  


Hopefully during my visit I'll be able to straighten out the troubles he is having with the indoor helicopter I bought him awhile ago. 


At this point he is still 100% ambulatory and can travel, any help showing my friend our world of pattern would be greatly appreciated.

PS I hope its warm down there in Florida, it was 6 degrees here in Boise this morning.
