Orchard Farm is most definately by far the BEST field anywhere in the st. louis area.
I plan on joining the club this year if i can ever find enough money. it is quite
expensive for me to join, and its about a 40min drive each way

Yeah Jared the only problem for me is the driving, abotu 40 mins as well. I know its the best place in STL if I have the time in my work schedule this spring I will join and do my weekend flying there.

Gee thanks, I might as well be laid off right now I would be better off on unemployment and supplemental pay. If you get the urge to fly on a nice day there is more than a 50% chance I'm off right now. for example last week I had 1 day of work and next week I might get 2.5 days
But enough of my crying OFRC is a great place to fly. hmmm If only I could shoot there too muahahahahaha

don't take this the wrong way, but unfortunately I am frequently available.......I used to really hate working all the time and not being able to take off when I wanted.

Here are some pics from our open house in 2007, the grass is much better now. **Orchard Farm RC Open House June 9, 2007**

Hey Cracky , Send me a link to get pilot flyers and a MAP ! I'll gather all my Detroit flyers and see
you there !

dude... YES!!! bring a plane...no, bring several planes and fly!!!!!!!!!!

the HF series is quite simply a series of weekends strategically placed across the country to bring FG'er together in all things "HUCK"! these are terrific weekends of flyin', fellowship, and fun... and oh yeah, a couple tall tales get told along the way!

get there and enjoy! they are great pick me ups after the conclusion of the nall each year!

Smokin, I'm hoping to make STL and Rockford. I approached the subject to momma over the weekend. That is a busy time as we have family in from DC the week before the 4th and a family reunion in there too...BUT, I remain hopeful. I want to see them 60%'s and your dad's 40-Cubbie....
