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.

Guys,
Due to the approaching Tropical Storm Nine I am not going to be able to attend this years KOI. I am on call at work and need to stay near home. I hope you have a great day and that the contest is a big suggest. Hope to be there next year and also to the Palmetto contest in November.
Best, DennisT

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!
