Rocky Mountain Free Flight Championships
Labor day weekend in Colorado will once again be the time for one of the best free flight contests in the country. Where else can you get it all? The case of this contest is a full slate of AMA, NFFS Nostalgia, and SAM events. This is an exempt National Cup contest. Making it one place where you can gather a bunch of National Cup points. Next there is the FAI Dynasty Cup, an Americas Cup FAI competition for all the events from A through P. The icing on the cake is the Rocky Mountain FAC Scramble. Not only will there be the full slate of scale events, but the WWII Combat event has a special award of $100 for the winner and special awards for all who fly.
What can we do to make this even better? How about the Dr. Dave Wineland Gas Attack. Dave is sponsoring a $100 cash award for the flyer who posts the longest string of maxs. Any gas event is eligible, just fly it to the event's rules as stated on the timing card and the flyer with the longest string picks up a cool $100 cash.
We have a new hotel this year that is offering a super deal for the MMM Club. The details are on the attached contest flyer. Just call the Extended Stay Suites and get the MMM deal of $49/night. I stayed there for the FAI 14 rounder and it is a great place with a full kitchen and plenty of space.
Colorado has an exceptional summer and you can expect super weather for this contest. Load up the models and chase bike and come and enjoy one of the greatest contests in the country on the USA's biggest flying field.
Down load the attached contest flyer, cutout the entry blank on the second page and send your money to Don DeLoach so that you will be able to fly as many events as you can dream of on a world class field.
One more thing, In addition to a full slate of events, a world class field, super hotel deal, there is a BBQ dinner Saturday evening. Reservation information for the BBQ dinner( with Lee Hines's favorite ribs) is on the entry blank.
For more information, check out the MMM web site at www.themmmclub.com.
