GAMA Flying Site - Written by Bob Dixon

I read Mike’s blog about the contest, but I wanted you to know that I went out to practice on our field last week prior to the contest and the field was in perfect condition. It’s scenery and trim was just beautiful. My Nobler took off and landed like it was on a golf fairway. The grass has taken hold and I couldn’t even tell there were any weed clumps. Having a field like this is a major contributor to anyone flying at the competitive level and Mike and Dave do also. It’s so nice not to worry about weeds grabbing your lines and putting grass marks all over your finish on the airplane. I wanted to personally thank you and the GAMA members that support our part of this hobby and the entire flying site. Although, there are only 3 of us actively using the field, we are still striving to foster more interest and bring more guys out. I will be inviting 2 of my competitors up to our field for a flying clinic since there are many who would give their left arm for a field like ours.

Let me know if there is anything I can do for all our efforts even on the R/C end. I am now starting to work on my new fleet and should be back at R/C soon.

Thanks,

Bob Dixon
