October 2007, Switzerland: C/L Scale Fly-In
Flying his aircraft with own hands, what could be more rewarding for the scale aeromodelling enthusiast? Actually feeling the engine and guiding the aircraft in flight is probably as close as you can get to the vibrations of a Rolls-Royce Merlin.
In an attempt to promote the building and flying of control-line scale models, the swiss c/l community invites builders and flyers of F4B and semi-scale c/l model airplanes to join a fly-in in Switzerland.
Event
Informal meeting of c/l scale enthusiasts
Date
October 6 and 7, 2007
Purpose and program
Meet new friends, share knowledge among experts, present projects and fly together
Site
Dedicated control line site Hard 2000, located in Untersiggenthal, Switzerland, some 25 Km from Zurich. The site has a hard surface circle allowing a max. cable length of 21.5 m.
Please inquire with George Biber at bige@swissonline.ch or phone +41 (0) 44 941 46 29, for details regarding registration and do not hesitate to suggest own contributions and/or recommendations on how to add value to the event.

That's interesting. I use to live in Brugg, not far from there when I was working at the Swiss Institute for Nuclear Research in Villigen (now the Paul Scherrer Institut) way back a long time ago!
We have collaborators at PSI and occasionally fly into Zurich and visit them before continuing on to CERN in Geneva.

Excellent, Alan. The site is located on the other side of Stilli village, not far from the big concrete plant with the tall red/white marked chimney. Coordinates are 47°30'52" North and 8°14'06" East. Its less than 10 minutes from Villigen and there is, weather permitting, flying going on on most weekends April - October. Please send me a message when over here next time.

Peter,
Sure will.
Just flew into Geneva a few moments ago. I won't make it to the Zurich area this time, but we will probably have some meetings at PSI in the next 6 months.
