The Farragut state park public flying sight that we once used is a little<br>
tight with the road (highway 54) nearly right under the 150 M line and the<br>
two clubs I belong to aren't very suitable.<br>
<br>
I've spoken to Tim McGee of the 'Silverhills R/C Fliers'<br>
(<a href="http://www.modelaircraft.org/clubsearch.aspx" target="_blank">http://www.modelaircraft.org/clubsearch.aspx</a> # 5148) who is interested in<br>
having a pattern contest. The Silverhills field is very near Silverwood Them<br>
Park 18 mi N of CDA ID.<br>
<br>
A map / sky view is too large to attach but the link to AMA club search<br>
shows the field, or search 47.897384 - 116.704931 or E-mail me & I send it<br>
direct.<br>
<br>
Tim has the tentative D-8 schedule & current rules. His E-mail reply<br>
indicated that the later part of July or the first week in August works for<br>
him. I sent him contest options, - straight TA - combination TA & Classic -<br>
or a 1 day primer / 1 day contest (below).<br>
Tim is a CD and could CD the event. I've explained that we use contestant<br>
judging and need little support.<br>
<br>
I don't know how much interest there is in the area or what kind of venue to<br>
suggest or if we should add another event into a somewhat loaded contest<br>
schedule. Tim and a couple members interested in flying pattern want to host<br>
a contest.<br>
<br>
I'd like to get some feedback on this but time is critical. Tim would like<br>
to nail down a date next week.<br>
<br>
What do you all think?<br>
