Typically Friday is the first day we can use the grass circles for practice.  I and maybe a dozen others are usually there by then.  The LPad is off limits until Sunday evening due to RC Scale overflights.

Dad and I usually drive all night Friday and spend the next day or two recovering. This year we will probably get up around 2 or 3 in the AM and hit the road, that will put us there sometime Saturday afternoon. I will be happy to take a look at your flying as will just about everyone else there. What are you competing in Andrew?

 Stan & I will be getting in around 2PM Friday (7/11). We usually get settled in, hit the big W to get drinks, cooler & what ever else we need. Check in at AMA & be ready to fly on Saturday morning.
 See you in 9 weeks.

I plan to get into Muncie on Saturday.

I love hearing Derek whine about the drive - its the best part of my Nats preparation.. I have to stay awake for 20 + hours flying in a plane to get to a plane just to change to another plane, which flies me some more - all whilst changing time zones and trying to get a little bottle of coke open on a 3 x 3 " wide table, making sure not to bump the woman sleeping next to me! - just so I can then get my little plane out of its box and fly that myself !


Gene - 9 weeks ? Don't say it like that makes me feel rushed ! I prefer its months away... :)
