looks like we may be loosing whitter as a flying site. seems like some lighted socker fields will be built there according to the new construction plan.

Does that still leave the Basin Available?

i think the meeting is dec. 16 the car guy's are very actice in this matter.

Well we are losing our circle in Topeka KS to a childrens museum.  I was sent pictures of a construction shack sitting in the middle of the corcle.  I hope you guys can save your site.  In Kansas City KS we lost our lone circle to a lighted soccor field that is not even used anymore. 

Please tell me this isn't true it just can't be, I started back in the hobby there back in 86 and have so many good memories I attended my first combat competition there in 87 what a blast! The ywo gents that stick out the most are Russ Graves and Barry Baxter I showed up one day with a scratch built model based on the Lil' Satan and they took the time to launch me and teavh me how to fly combat Russ even offered to sell me one his old Combat Specials, at the first La. Money Nats I helped in their pits and had a great time it's becouse of them and the Narrows that I am still in this hobby and it would be like losing a good freind if this happens, is there anyway we can stop this?                              

That is good news Chris.  Now keep the city, county and state broke so thay can't take it.  In reality losing our circle in Topeka is a blessing.  With the tireless efforts of Brenda and Melvin Schuette we have a new site with a flat paved circle and a grass circle with center pad.  No more turbulance over the trees like we used to have.  Chris has flown at the old Gage Park Circle.   They are in the process of moving the War memorial that is still at Gage. 

It looks like the only way to preserve the sport might be finding a way to buy your own land. Shrug. Yeah not cost effective but seems like the only way to prevent losing it.

And maybe Terry nickels was right...
