Cash Prize Awarded for the Winner of each event. See the "Events" section of this forum for full details and directions.

As far as Flying Rules, there is no BOM in any flying events, we have a separate Concours competition. Only other major difference is that BOTH of your flight scores count !! - we reward flying skill and well as consistency just as we do on Top 20 day at the U.S. Nationals.

We also have a tremendous lineup for our raffle. We have kits, engines, fuel, Zap Glue, certificates and many other goodies. Bring your cash and your generosity. Remember, SPPA, Inc. is a non-profit group who uses these funds to promote the King Orange, control line stunt events and aviation careers.

Entry Fees are as follows:

Expert Stunt - $25.00
All Other Flying Events - $20.00
Concours Competition - FREE
Concours Banquet - $25.00
All late registration fees have been waived.

Please come pay us a visit and enjoy a great competition while you are here, down by the ole Suwannee River. Weather looks decent, so we should get all flights in.

This event was great, a bit breezy with a lot of "Love Bugs", but what a fantastic venue!  It's on a private airport with vintage full scale planes taxing by the flying circles before take off and an air conditioned club house with burgers and dogs for lunch both days and a catered BBQ meal Saturday night!.  The Smith's and Waldron's really out did themselves.  You got to put this one on your Bucket List!
