won’t be here the end of July.

Bob,

It looks like it lays out about the same as Tri City's with the sun at your
back until late afternoon.

Neat looking theme park across the road too.

Jim,
  Field looks great, but where is the sun? I can't make it on the weekends
of Aug 2nd/3rd or the 9th and 10th, family stuff, but other than that a
quick trip to Idaho is something I could commit to:)

Jim,

The field looks like it would be exceptional for Pattern, IMAC had a contest
there last year and plan to come back in 2014. My challenge is distance for
most D8 flyers. For most it is going to be at least 6 to 10 hours driving
time. I would certainly support it, but I think we would be hard pressed to
get five to seven D8 guys to go.

Input guys?

The Farragut state park public flying sight that we once used is a little
tight with the road (highway 54) nearly right under the 150 M line and the
two clubs I belong to aren't very suitable.

I've spoken to Tim McGee of the 'Silverhills R/C Fliers'
( http://www.modelaircraft.org/clubsearch.aspx # 5148) who is interested in
having a pattern contest. The Silverhills field is very near Silverwood Them
Park 18 mi N of CDA ID.

A map / sky view is too large to attach but the link to AMA club search
shows the field, or search 47.897384 - 116.704931 or E-mail me & I send it
direct.

Tim has the tentative D-8 schedule & current rules. His E-mail reply
indicated that the later part of July or the first week in August works for
him. I sent him contest options, - straight TA - combination TA & Classic -
or a 1 day primer / 1 day contest (below).
Tim is a CD and could CD the event. I've explained that we use contestant
judging and need little support.

I don't know how much interest there is in the area or what kind of venue to
suggest or if we should add another event into a somewhat loaded contest
schedule. Tim and a couple members interested in flying pattern want to host
a contest.

I'd like to get some feedback on this but time is critical. Tim would like
to nail down a date next week.

What do you all think?

Jim
