Control line in Davenport Iowa and quad city area?
« on: July 15, 2021, 11:20:53 PM »
Does anyone know if there is any c/l activity in Davenport Iowa or quad city area today?  I lived there in the 197o's and early 80's and you could fly at Mt joy airport. I flew there once with Floyd Layton and. I think there was a club called the Quad city skyhawks?

Not sure about today.

Seven years ago I retired and moved to Texas from the Cedar Rapids area.  Before that I flew a lot at Mt. Joy airport with Floyd, Larry Lindberg, Russ Gifford, and Lee Concannon.  Those were great days flying with that bunch!

Larry and Lee are members here on SH.  They are still back there.

Christ thanks for the info. I did look at the airport website and they have done a lot of rebuilding to the terminal. I would not be surprised if they would not allow c/l there today as we flew in the grass field in front . If I relocate the again I could fly electric which I have already done a little bit and then I could get away with flying at other places? Or maybe I could fly at the Davenport r/c field?Will have to investigate this if I am going there?

If you look on Google Maps you can see some evidence of the circle w flew on.  it's in the grassy are in front of the terminal.  We would park in the area just North of the circle.
