Big Al's Info

 

The Bissonnette Memorial will be held on Memorial Day weekend, May 22nd to 24th at Lost Hills flying site. This year we will have the field to ourselves because the United States Free Flight Championships has been moved to the end of September. Friday starting at Noon we will have the F1E contest. Seven half hour rounds will be held on our normal hill South East of the main FF flying site. Friday evening we will have a five-flight contest for any FAI Power model from 1950 to present. Saturday’s contest will be for the F1ABCP events and Sunday will for F1GHJQ along with the Vintage FAI Power event. Also, I would like to remind the winners from last year to return the perpetual trophies engraved and polished.

 

You can down load a copy of the contest flyer from the Lost Hills web site and look under upcoming events; http://www.lhffmaa.com/index.html

 

Special notice: Several flyers have asked me to add Nostalgia Wakefield to the event schedule. On Saturday we will have Nostalgia Wakefield with the first round starting at 9 am. This will be a three round contest per the Nostalgia rules.

 

We will try a new parking location at this contest. The field to the North has been plowed and makes for difficult chasing along with very dirty models when you land in the loose ground.  My plans are to arrive on Thursday morning and place out pylons for the parking and flight line. I will have the porta potties moved also.

UPDATE on BERNIE CROWE
 
Bernie is doing just fine. The hospital treated him well and added some dethermalizers to his heart. He was flying with us this Wednesday at Perris and was his old self as usual. Really good to see him well and flying.
