1. FAI events at the USFFC
2. 16th SW FAI Challenge

FAI events at the United States Free Flight Championships

I will be running the FAI events this coming weekend.  For those who are planning on attending the FAI events at the USFFC this weekend we will be starting at 8 am on Saturday for F1ABCP with one hour rounds.  On Sunday we will start at 8 am for F1GHJQ with 45-minute rounds.

With the new field conditions we will be moving to keep the models from landing in the new orchard area.  One of the planned launch areas to us is south of the entry road.  If we have are normal southeast drift in the morning we will start flying in or normal location and then move to the east when drift changes to a southwest direction.  This will all be depending on the drift conditions.

I plan on flying Saturday so the desk will be vacant for a good part of the round.  I want to use self-service for reporting round times.

A porta potty will be positioned in the new east area also.

Thank you, Walt
