Elie, did you order another wing tube to bring with you??? Maybe I'll bring mine just in case you need one.
Cracky, no I am not afraid of the water, I can swim so can my plane.
As for bending the wing tube, we may need more than one replacement this year, might as well bring 2.

Here is a copied post from the other thread showing a couple of the field pics...

Quote:
Hopefully these pics will give you an idea of what to expect. These were all taken last summer at the Orchard Farm RC Open House.....I don't know the exact dimensions but its BIG and wide open. The pilot's fence is pretty much in the middle of the field. Crosswind landings are not an issue if there is wind. You can easily land in 1/3-1/2 the field. If you really suck you won't even run out of space. I was out there two weeks ago and there was corn that is about 2 foot. That might have grown but its still short. If there is a corn pull contest someone is going to be packing dirt on their rudder.

Bring it boys, the field is calling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
