I will post more in the next day or so. To sign up, visit the Triple Tree Aerodrome website, and look for the registration for Joe Nall Week. There you will find a place to enter "Control Line as your primary flight line. Then, please let me know that you are attending (email....ama82824@yahoo.com). There are no landing fees or contest fees associated with our week, whether or not you participate in Stunt Camp and/or the contests.

Looking forward to seeing you there. The circles are the best you have ever flown on and the facility is simply breathtaking.

For people planning to come to Tripletree , we are looking forward to another fun week at Joe Nall.. This event has grown in both control line and RC to a very funn week but most important bus the fellowship of modelers .

Feel free to contact Mark Weiss or myself with concerns and questions concerning accommodations , field layout and week long activities planned for the Control line portion of Joe Nall,

The first weekend opens and is a little light on attendance, still a very big turnout, just nothing compared to Thursday and Friday ,

Vendors are busy setting up, campers are arriving to claim their favorite spot , most people start arriving early in the week and the attendance peaks out on Friday of the second weekend , BBQ Friday night is a very special social event

Saturday morning the people start packing up, saying their good byes but the fun continues  past mid day

Looking forward to seeing everyone and have a safe trip
