Steve, I am planning on camping. My plane trailer has some camping accommodations but no shower. Joe Nall has some of the baddest, cleanest, and hottest showers. I hope I can take camping like that all week! I will camping down by the second Flight Line, From Sunday to Sunday!

That sounds like a long walk to the showers. Some form of transportation maybe good
Golf cart, Pocket rocket, Bike..

Hello everyone,

I am Tom and i am excited to know that the freestyle event will be held at Triple Creek. A few of my friends are also interested in coming to. Most of us are flying 30% planes and have been to triple creek a few times. Is there going to be a landing fee? Is it going to be open flying or are there going to be events also? I will be following this thread for the actual date of the meet. Thank you all

Tom Elder

Hello Dale,

I have been to triple creek before with Archie Gilzowso we may have met already but i am not sure. I am the chief flight instructor at SPARKS in St. Petersburg and i like to fly helis and 3d flight alot. Thank you for the invite and i would like to accept your invitation to come there and fly more often. I am interested in possible joining your club. Can you pm me your number or email address so that i can get in touch with you prior to coming down there to fly on a certain day? Thank you for the invitation and could i bring a few members with me to fly? Thank you once again!

Tom

Tom,
I think we have met when Archie came over to fly.
You are more than welcome to bring friends.
Quite honestly we thought that several of the SPARKS members were going to come over and join our membership simply because its a much larger field (and there is more open-mindedness).
I usually fly on the weekends only between 7am - 12pm sometimes later if I forget to go home.
Feel free to call me at (813)319-4562 anytime between 6pm-11pm or e-mail me at dmedin@tampabay.rr.com
By the way, we are trying to arrange a fly-in possibly on April 5th, if that does not work out then we are going to push it out to June. You would be doing me a big favor if you put me in touch with Archie, he and I have already talked about the fly-in and he promised he could donate some goodies for prizes/raffles and i would like to get a solid confirmation about that.

I was the youngest one there that could not wait to get into a larger plane. It was such a great day there but i have not had time to get back down there again. Alot of are wanting to join down there and i think on our next outing i am going to join(provided i have the funds). I can give you archie's shop number 727-526-0394 and he is there every day but Wed. If you cant get ahold of him there let me know and i can get his cellular number for you. Thank you and look forward to talking to you more.

Tom

Can't wait to fly at your field Matt, where is it anyway? Also I will be going to Lakeland with my new EF 88" Yak or the ginormus thing as my mom and sister call it. Check out some pics that I took today so far the build is easy as I had the EF 74" which is the same plane just smaller. Going with DA-50 and KS 1060 tuned pipe. By the way Tom, welcome to FFAA you are going to have an awesome time when you meet up with us! Thats a promise!

Ricardo, That plane will be a blast for you! I seen a kid with a DL-50, stock muffler, and it flew very light. The only down side is it's a little bit louder with the stock muffler. I'm running a DL-50, not even a gallon through it yet and it's spinning a 22-8 mejz at like 7.5! It's crazy! I got to go to school, ill send you directions later. FCAT today
