[Caleb Phillips]

I saw this on the other forum. Not quite sure why it's not already posted here so I'll go ahead and give it a go.

"The Smackdown of the South Crew would like to invite all to come down south for our 3rd Annual funfly May 16-18 2008. This will be a AMA event and pilots landing fees will be set at $20.00 Current AMA membership is required to fly. If you have any ? you can email me here on runryder.

I will be posting more as things are worked out.

working on getting Prizes for a pilots giveaway.

EDIT: Just saw the it was only posted a few hours ago so that's probably why it hasn't made it our way yet ;)

[JoeScott]

Sweet, I'll be there :thumbup:

[miami6]

where is this event at ?

[Caleb Phillips]

The field is called Cobb County Remote Control Modeler's Club. It's located in Acworth Ga. which is just 35 minutes or so north of Atlanta. There's a large runway that could accommodate 4-6 3d heli pilots and another heli section that can accommodate at least one pilot. There's definately some bada$$ pilots in the area that will more than most likely be in attendance.

EDIT: Here's the address via the website link:

2302 Pitner Rd NW.
Acworth, GA 30101-4477

[terrybeb]

Is this the field? If so....Very Nice!

[EVODUDE12]

thats it . i never seen the lake . we fly on the other side of the field. the pankers have the runway.

[terrybeb]

All last year I was driving past it going to Steelcase in Atlanta every other week. Now I'm not. I seem to be going more midwest in the truck. I keep my 450 with me JUST IN CASE!!! :)

[EVODUDE12]

on a warm day 50 deg or more in the winter we will have all pit tables full on the heli side . that is 15 tables. and in the summer we will have 30 guys just for heli's show up. great place to fly and lots of fun. we egg each other on. we has his/her bathrooms grill to cook on electric power at most tables food and sodas also. well keep place.

[terrybeb]

Where would the closest truckstop be to the field. I would have to cab it to get there. I would take my car down in May though. I'm just thinking about while working.

It may just end up being too far.......worth a shot though.

[Caleb Phillips]

It's really not far from I-75 so it shouldn't be too hard to find a truck stop, I just don't know where to start looking. When I get back to school, I'll give google Earth a shot and see if I can find anything that way.

[terrybeb]

Thanks alot :)

Sorry man although I'll be around I'll be missing it, taking the girlfriend to the beach for my 31st birthday (May 16th), and after that I won't be back around till around June 23rd.

Edit: cause Jared's pointed it out.

[jared_of_atlanta]

Too bad Brian. Could've used some MA representation...

Have fun at the beach though.

[oldskool]

[keithstric]

[SlowWhite]

Caleb if Joe nall gets overwith Saturday my girl and I might drive down sat night and stay for sunday event but we'll play it by ear.

[Nate Quan]

Well, lets get a head count for who is planning on attending this weekend. Sure wish it was more than one day. Sure would make the drive worthwhile! I guess we could just stick around and fly on Sun.

Thinking about going - who else?

[jared_of_atlanta]

I'm planning on being there. Just a 45 minute drive.
