Hey - I'm over in Elk Horn... about 20 minutes away. I've got a 30% Edge that's a blast & a bunch of smaller stuff. Let know if you want to go flying some time. I mainly fly at the AtlanticHawks club.

Hi Edgewise
I fly at the "AtlanticHawks" field which is on the other side of the river and south of the full scale airport. (I also fly a bunch off the road by our farm too.) Where are you located at?

Thanks
Terry

Right outside of Cedar Rapids, IA.

I fly glow (40-90 size), gas (25cc), and of course electric (3D and Parkies)

We fly indoors during the winter at the US Cellular Center with anything (3D or parkies) that are 20 oz or less.

Here is a aerial video I did of Amana IA, the other day on Christmas.

Cool video Dave. Terry, I fly at the airport in Denison, we have a strip just north of the hangars there. We fly every Wednesday and Saturday mornings weather permitting. I also belong to the club by Harlan, they fly at Blunder Field which is North of Harlan out in the country just West of Earling. I fly anything from .40 size to 40%. If you guys are interested we are having a fun-fly August 3rd at the Denison airport. Just bring planes, we'll have free food for the pilots.

Hello from Iowa! Just getting back to the hobby after being away form a couple decades. Spent a lot of time working on the real stuff for 30 years, hens the the name, crewed F-16s for the last tens years with the Air Force/Air Guard. I found Flying Giants while searching the internet and found this site to be filled with vast base of great people. I would like to thank everyone here that help to bring us all into the enjoyment of flying RC.
